<div>Friends and neighbors. Ed Neilmeyer's idea of a Town collection for Chief Ryan and his family is excellent. Perhaps, our officials can suggest a vehicle for collection; Town Hall? Please count me in for a donation and thanks Ed for your sentiments. </div>

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1<br><br>The TownTalk policy that prohibits electioneering is in force at all<br>times - but now that it is election season, it is a a good time to be<br>reminded of that.?This is not the forum for airing one's views (pro or<br>
con) about incumbents or candidates for town office. Thank you.<br><br>Dwight Holmes<br>List Moderator<br><br><br>The list policy is always available for reading simply by clicking on<br>the <a href="http://riverdale-park.org/mailman/listinfo/towntalk" target="_blank">http://riverdale-park.org/mailman/listinfo/towntalk</a> link which is<br>
in the footer of every TownTalk message.<br><br>Electioneering Prohibited<br><br>Electioneering is not permitted on e-mail lists supported by the Town<br>of Riverdale Park.<br><br>Promoting a Civilized Environment<br><br>
We find a list works best when everyone treats everyone else with<br>respect. Below are some guidelines designed to make TownTalk a safe<br>environment for discussing difficult issues.<br><br>Posters may not attack other list members for their choices or<br>
opinions, although they may suggest that certain opinions are worth<br>evaluating or that there may be other points of view. We don't flame<br>here - we respect the opinions of our fellow citizens. Because respect<br>
doesn't always mean saying "I agree", it's important to phrase<br>challenges in such a way that it is clear that it is not the worth of<br>the writer you are questioning, but rather the validity of the idea.<br>
What is a flame? It is important to recognize that to disagree<br>respectfully, or to politely request a change of behavior, is not to<br>"flame".<br><br>Examples:<br><br>NOT acceptable: "I can't believe you think that! No right thinking<br>
person could possibly believe something so stupid."<br><br>Acceptable: "I have a different perspective on this. My family<br>actually enjoys eating hockey pucks."<br><br>NOT acceptable: "Listen you jerk - how can you be so stupid and listen<br>
to the idiots want a hockeypuckgarden?!? If you'd bothered to read up<br>on hockeypuck gardens, you would never be arguing in favor of such<br>stupid things."<br><br>Acceptable: "What has led you to believe that people who live in<br>
Riverdale Park want a hockeypuckgarden? When I lived in Hockey Town,<br>we had a hockeypuckgarden for one year, but no one maintained it and<br>it looked horrible. I think a hockeypuckgarden is a bad idea."<br><br>TownTalk will be a much more effective resource for all of us if we<br>
endeavor to keep it flame-free, and to avoid personal attacks.<br><br>Think carefully when you respond to a post about whether you should<br>"Reply to Sender", or "Reply to All" (which will send your e-mail to<br>
the entire list.)<br>We recommend including your full name and e-mail address in the last<br>two lines of each message sent to the list, to make it simpler for<br>people to communicate privately with you via e-mail.<br>Remember that people read this list using a very wide variety of<br>
hardware and software, and that some users are limited in their<br>mailbox space or must pay according to the volume of mail they<br>receive. As a courtesy, please configure your e-mail software to use<br>"7-bit" encoding, and avoid sending attachments when possible. E-mail<br>
messages over 50 kilobytes currently require moderator approval.<br>It is helpful to include part of the message to which you are reacting<br>in your response, but please don't quote the whole thing. If your<br>reaction is a simple "I agree", please send that privately.<br>
Please don't post chain letters or warnings about e-mail viruses.
