Vision

 

The e-grapevine listserve is a free, unofficial "kiosk" for freely communicating within the
St. Gertrude Parish community.

 

·        "Unofficial," in order to protect St. Gertrude's Parish and the Archdiocese from any responsibility for message content.

 

 

Policy

 

*  Any and all topics are welcome.  Lengthy discussions may be shifted to a "sister" listserve.

* The e-grapevine is not intended for commercial uses or business solicitations.

 

·        This includes selling or renting of goods or services to customers or clients.

 

·        This applies alike to for-profit and non-profit organizations.

 

·        This applies alike to secular, sectarian, and other charitable organizations.

 

·        This does not apply to Yahoogroups, which posts messages at the bottom of each
message in return for sponsoring the e-grapevine.

 

 

Aims

 

The aims of e-grapevine policy are--

 

·        To help minimize message traffic on the e-grapevine, in order to make it congenial to
more subscribers.

 

·        To keep the e-grapevine free of spam.

 

·        To maintain the e-grapevine as one of the commercial-free havens on the Internet.

 

 

Waivers

 

As a public service to e-grapevine subscribers, a waiver applies for these types of notices:

 

·        Events sponsored by our parish or by religious organizations.

 

·        Offers of free services, products, or events.

 

·        Notices of jobs available and jobs wanted.

 

·        Offers to sell or rent personal property (including space in your home or garage).

 

·        Requests for recommendations of tradespersons, products, or services.

 

·        Brief, factual responses to such requests.

 

 

Discussion

 

Your questions and comments regarding the e-grapevine are welcome.

 

·        If you have questions, please email them directly to me at lipscomb@margrover.com.

 

·        If you'd like to discuss this policy with other e-grapevine members, please join the e-vineyard listserve, created specifically for that purpose.

Note: Please do not use the e-grapevine itself for such discussions. They are of minimal interest to most subscribers and often lead to unsubscriptions.
