        As some of you may or may not know, this Conference is
    an Extension for
    
                The Society for the Furtherment of Levity!
    
        Our meetings have traditionally been on Wednesday Nights...
    
        This Topic is to inform you of all the Official Stuff...
    anything our group will be doing... like the Mural, the 
    Newspaper, Fundraisers, etc.  If you want to talk about
    YOUR ideas, this is the place!  If you want to initiate 
    something, tell us about it here!  This topic should be more
    than a bulletin board... feel free to actively discuss any
    of the stuff we're doing in our group.
        Since I can't make it to ALL the meetings, if you notice
    I've left something out, just slap it up!

    Just a note, all... I shall regularly remove outdated notes from
    this particular topic... to avoid confusion.
        The most recent (and thus pertinant) notes shall remain.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Okay... hidden notes officially do not exist in this conference.
    That seems to be what all of you are saying here...
        I have dealt with all hidden notes in this conference...
    here's what happens with future Hidden Notes...
    
    * I will read the note... unless there is a good reason
        for its being there (I can't think of one), I shall
        send a letter to the person who wrote it, and explain
        that the note has been removed from the conference.
        (I shall EXTRACT it, then delete it).  I can thus
        replace it if needed).
    *  If the person doesn't care about the note, I shall likewise
        delete it from my account... 60 days after the extraction, 
        I shall, again, delete it from my account.  After which
        the note will be unretrievable.
    
        As for this topic, it has now served its purpose... I shall
        nuke this topic in... let's say, 10 days.  Take what you need.
        I shall move this particular note to another topic, so all
        may know the outcome of our efforts.
    
                                                Sufficient?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    My friends and fellow LEVers,
        As you can see, there are a few who dis this conference 
    straight off... who say that it is useless, that it is dead.
    Perhaps you have heard the rumors... even believed them...
    but I am here to tell you that LEV is more than what they
    perceive it as.
        For me, LEV_SOCIETY is something precious.  We try to 
    emphasize Unity here.  Friendship.  This is a place you can come
    to avoid all the rules, all the Stress of RIT.  You don't have to
    worry about all the constraints, the "guidelines" of other
    conferences... of RIT as a whole.  LEV_SOCIETY is something
    different.  Something unique.  People say, "Oh, it's just another
    CHEERS."  I differ.  CHEERS is restricted.  You cannot create topics
    at will, you must appeal to become a member of CHEERS.  CHEERS is
    great, CHEERS is fun, and has been for me, but LEV_SOCIETY is more
    than that... not a cheap rip-off.  LEV has a philosophy.  LEV
    believes in self-determination, in the freedom to set into motion 
    your own ideas and dreams.  LEV does not want flames, it does not
    desire fun at the expense of others.  LEV believes in treating each
    other with respect, with mutual acceptance... of others, of their
    ways.
        LEV_SOCIETY is far from dead.  There are those who do not
    understand, those who would denounce us in their lack of 
    perception... they see only the surface... not the true meaning
    beneath that surface.  But LEV_SOCIETY, time and time again, 
    has topped all other conferences with its tremendous response...
    in not even 3 months, we have accumulated over 4,500 of these
    responses... some now deleted, most still here for all to 
    experience... but this life, this vibrance, is more than
    many smaller conferences may see in a lifetime.
        Clearly, then, the idea of Levity, of Harmony and goodwill,
    holds something special for us.  This is not dead.  This is
    not even close to dead... it is an ideal within us that can NEVER
    be destroyed.  And this conference is a direct reflection of that
    strength, that ideal within us all.
        My friends, for all the so-called toils I must endure in the
    name of Harmony, for every swear-word I must attend to, for every
    personal attack I must alleviate, for every critisism or attack
    to this conference that I must confront, this is still LEV.  And
    the Good far outweighs any mild toil I must contend with.  This
    Conference is my dream, as is Unity my dream, as is Acceptance
    my dream, as is Understanding of all people my dream.  And for
    each conflict I have had to face, I have found every adversary to
    be, after all, only a person like myself; not the foe they might
    have been had I not tried to understand.
        This LEV - it is an ideal.  And all of you have shown your
    own LEV in this conference... in your comments, your thoughtful
    postings, or even just in the smiles you have created by your
    humor and wit... you are, my friends, a most integral part of
    this ideal, indeed of LEV_SOCIETY as a whole.  I want you all
    to walk beside me... be here when the new sun rises.  For all
    those who seek friends shall find them here... shall be welcome
    here.  And in this, we shall never falter, so long as we are one.

                         -< THE TWO HOLY LAWS OF LEV >-
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    For the Record, a re-statement is in Order as to the Laws of LEV.
    
    As you seasoned LEVers know, LEV_SOCIETY is against forced conformity
    as well as un-needed rules and Beauracracy.  Thus we try to keep it
    to a minimum... with our 2 Holy Laws of LEV.
    
    And these are not only simple, but with a little practice,
    Easy to Use.
    
    1 - No Swearing.
    
    2 - No Personal Attacks.
    
    Ya see?  Now, in the past, there has been some confusion as to
    the Exact Interpretation of the 2 Holy Laws.  Here is some
    clarification...
    
        SWEAR WORDS are words that are listed as Explicitives (or "vulgar")
    in the Dictionary.  We allow only 2 Swear Words... "Damn" and "Hell"
    for these are highly accepted by society and show up on Network TV
    all the time.  ALL OTHER SWEAR WORDS ARE INAPPROPRIATE.  If you're not
    sure, Asterik it out... like this
    
    Sh*t
        Fuc*
                Bit*h
                        c*ck
                                etc
                                        etc.
    Any post with a swear word is Now Subject to deletion without
    notification.  Many, many of these deletions are done everyday,
    and it is very time-consuming to send out a letter of explanation
    for EVERY note.  You KNOW the rules, folks.  So if a note goes
    away, that's possibly why.
        As for Personal Attacks, that's harder to define... in general,
    if you post something that is done specifically to tick someone
    off, that's a Personal Attack.  DON'T DO IT.  LEV_SOCIETY is a 
    place where all are welcome... ALL.  Fun at another's expense is
    NOT LEV.  
        However, some notes may be too subtle for the unknowing eye to
    register as a Personal Attack.  If you see a note which you find
    to be a personal Attack, send me mail telling me which note, and
    it shall be removed.
        I shall continue to send out notifications for Note-Deletion
    with explanations for all Personal Attack matters.
    
        So there we are, folks.  All nice and clear.  Be LEV to each
    other.  Respect each other's happines.  Be understanding of your
    siblings.  For here, we are all LEV, we are all as one.

    Thank you all for your patience... as well as your support and 
    Help in implementing the BIG LEV NUKE FEST!  It has been a complete
    success.  You may all be proud of the input you offered... I value
    each and every one of you as members of LEV... my Brothers and Sisters.
        So, now we are back... a Nice, New Conference, completely
    re-furnished, re-defined, and spankin' ready to go!  We're just
    ITCHIN' to get moving once again... We have nearly a week to catch up
    on!  Welcome back, all... we have all been away too long!  Let's break

    OFFICIAL POLICY ON THE CREATION OF NEW TOPICS
    
        Now that we're back, and revised, and "properly pruned,"
    it is only fitting that I post here a statement concerning
    New Topics in LEV.  Many of you are new here, and may not
    know what we are about... so read on, my friends.  Let your
    questions melt away.
    
        Here in LEV_SOCIETY, all those rules and restrictions
    have no place... only the 2 HOLY LAWS of LEV.  (You know what
    they are!)  LEV is to have fun, to enjoy yourselves, as much
    as it is for Acceptance and Unity.
        All topics are allowed in the Name of Having Fun... if
    it is a topic meaningful or fun for you, go for it!  This
    Conference is Writable... we WANT you to contribute your
    ideas freely!  All of our views are important.
        If the Topic does end up being something directly 
    Anti-Lev (like, let's say, The Killing People Topic, or
    The Swearing Topic) it shall be removed appropriately.
    If it lulls in its support (only 3 people need offer
    support... see THE NUKAGE TOPIC), or if everybody thinks
    it is cheesy, then fine... we'll delete it.  No harm done.
    Point is this : you have nothing to lose!  So be a leader!
    A trend-setter!  We only have 13 Topics right now... it is
    only the tip of the LEV-BERG.
    
        That's really all.  If it promotes Harmony, Unity, or
    Having Fun, it has a place in LEV.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    My friends,
        it is time for you to know that I shall be relinquishing
    the MODship of LEV_SOCIETY.  My exit is best made now, during the
    summer months, where it can be done painlessly and discreetly.
        My reasons are many.  The most immediate is that I cannot get
    to a computer over the summer as I might have suspected.
        
        I am proud to have been a key member in bringing about the
    LEV_SOCIETY conference... and I am sure that it will continue to
    stand long after my passing... as a monument, as a continuing factor,
    in the promotion of Unity, Levity, Acceptance, and Happiness.  I will
    always hold these ideals close to my heart, and always will I strive
    to bring them about in the things I do, and in the friendships I will
    form.
        Simply, it is time for me to explore my LEV in a new way... this
    conference was but one of infinite possible vehicles in promoting an
    understanding between people.  Only one.  And I have been largely
    happy with the success of LEV_SOCIETY... but it is not the only way.
    It is time for me to explore those other ways.
        You will always have a friend in me... those who seek the Solenoid
    shall find him... but I shall drop from public view for a while... it
    is not the way I choose to walk at present.  But I shall still be here,
    even in my subliminity... call and I shall hear.
    
        Now, the politics of my leaving...
    
        LEV_SOCIETY will need a new Moderator.  A Second Mod of LEV.
    This mod should hold the will to see through the ideals of Acceptance,
    Unity, and Lightening Up... of fellowship, of the 2 Holy Laws of LEV.
    Under ideal circumstances, a MOD should be approved and voted in by
    the People... the People of LEV_SOCIETY.  This may not be possible
    over the summer, what with the drop in Membership and all... I shall
    hold the MOD position for the indefinite future until a new MOD can
    be found.  If we cannot find a new MOD before Summer's End, we may
    lock the Conference closed until the fall, when we may surely find a
    LEVer worthy of the position.
        If you want to be MOD, mail me... or contact Ms. Reek of the
    Computer Science Department.  Once a new MOD is selected, the details
    are cake, and there will be no difficulty in me transferring my awesome
    VAXMOD powers to a new recipient.  
        And also post here.  
    
                                                        That is all...
                                                        It's been LEV

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
        Yes, my people, as you know, I shall be leaving you as MOD of
    LEV... and the process in selecting a New Mod has been long and
    hard... choosing the best from among so many Involved and Excellent
    LEVers was certainly no easy matter!  But I have come to a decision,
    and the Second Mod of LEV shall be Sherm, the Doc... CAS9353.  He
    has demonstrated not only his involvement, but also his concern on
    many an occasion for the politics of LEV, the True Meaning of what
    is LEV and what is not, what is Fun, and what is unacceptable.  He
    gave me lots of food for thought, that Sherm... and that is the
    most important quality a MOD of LEV can have... the ability to 
    question himself, the ability to be objective, the ability to put
    the Good of the Conference above personal opinions or even ego.
    I have seen Sherm do this... and I have confidence that he shall
    continue as such in my place as Moderator of this Conference.
        I go now, but I leave you under his guidance... and also leave
    with you the 2 Holy Laws.  Especially the Second.  Be Excellent
    to Each Other... and Party On, Dudes!  
    
        May you keep the faith, may you keep the LEV.  All who seek
    peace and acceptance in LEV_SOCIETY shall find it.  May that, most
    of all, never be forgotten.
        Remember that, my friends, and I am happy.  Follow that, my
    friends, and I have succeeded.  Believe that, my friends, and I could
    have asked no greater gift.
    
                                                Long Live LEV!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

         Well, as you now know, Tony has relinquished MOD privs to me for
    LEV_SOCIETY. I have been notified as to what I have to do to keep this
    conference going right, and I ask for your assistance. If there is
    something that you do not like, or if there is an offensive post,
    please bring it to my attention. If there is a topic that you feel is
    unLEV, please let me know, either by mail or by posting it in this
    topic. I am going to try my best at being a good moderator for this
    conference, and if there is anyone that has any objections to something
    I do, let me know. This is *our* conference, not solely *mine*. I only
    look over it, and keep the peace (sort of like the LEV cop. :)  ).

         I am learning all about being a MOD, and from time to time, I may
    ask those of you who are already moderators of other conferences for
    your advice or opinions (or help, since I am still learning).

         All I ask is that you follow the already defined two Holy Laws of
    LEV. Also, try to keep things on topic. I know that is an addition to
    the rules, but I feel it is an important one. I am not going to be
    iron-fisted, and delete *every* note that doesn't fit the topic, but I
    will either move things to appropriate topics, or delete them
    altogether if unapprropriate.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

         I have received a complaint about the overusage of formfeeds in
    certain people's notes, and their are a few things that should be said.

         First of all, they are highly annoying. The main use for a
    formfeed is to "surprise" someone with something unexpected. For
    example, read my post about the Beavis & Butthead topic. Their is a
    formfeed in there that is "properly" used. 

         At any rate, further misuse of formfeeds shall result in the posts
    being deleted. Please try to keep their use at a minimum, if you have
    to use them at all.

         Okay, time to give another speech (sorry, comes with the job). Two
    things: 

         1) Profanity.
         2) Staying on topic & senseless dribble.

    1) The use of profanity has to stop, even if asteriks (sp?) replace
    letters, or the word is spelt wrong. This is a purely public
    conference, with unlimited access. I have recieved a notice, and a
    complaint about it (because of one or two notes in particular). You can
    post without the use of cursewords and the like. From here on in, all
    posts containing profanity will be deleted. If you feel you see a
    problem with my decision, e-mail me privately. Do not post your opinion
    here; it shall also go the way of the do-do.

    2) I've noticed that hardy noone stays on topic anymore, and babble is
    present in almost every topic. Please try to keep to topic. If the
    number of off topic posts increases in a topic, they will be deleted.
    Yes, I will be very lenient with this one.

         Any problems with my decisions should be directed to me via
    e-mail. I won't discuss it outside of the wonderful world of vax.

         The Topic "Word Play" was deleted. Let's try it again. If everyone
    keeps being ridiculous, and not adheiring to the rules of that topic, I
    will delete it for good. If you are unfamiliar with the rules, look at
    note .0 for that topic.

         Also, enough of this drivel on stupid crap in this conference. If
    everyone persists on being off topic, and going on strange, perverted
    tangents, I will shut this conference down, and clean it out, and we
    will try again. There is a way to set a conference to members only, and
    if I need permission to do that, fine, but you all have been warned.

         From hence on, off topic notes and garbage go the way of the
    do-do.

         As was said in the last post, if the topic Word Play was abused,
    it goes. Well, it is gone. 

         I also deleted the topic Soft-drinks. It was a copy of the old
    Soda/Pop topic. That was deleted awhile ago, and most of you know the
    reasons for it.

         Do not recreate those two topics or else I *will* set this
    conferece to /NOWRITE. If that happens, the only way to enter a new
    topic is to mail me with your idea, and I start the topic, but I do not
    want to do something like that.

         Also, LEV_SOCIETY is going to be shutdown sometime at the end of
    the month for cleaning out. All the policies from then on (which are
    explained in my posts in this topic) shall be strictly enforced. I have
    been *very* linient for the summer months, but come fall quarter, all
    crap goes.

         BTW, lighten up on the sexual references please.

    Disclaimer:

         When I post in this topic, it is as Moderator. I was appointed a
    job, and I will do that job to the best of my abilities. Many of you
    who read/post in this conference are my friends, and I'm not
    "attacking" you personally, so please don't take what is written here
    as such. I'm not a mean ole person who hates to have fun, and many of
    you are aware of that. There is a time and a place for everything. That
    is why I ask for cooperation in this conference. Having a standard
    doesn't mean fun and good times goes out the door. It comes with
    maturity and responsibility. If this conference is seen as a big
    game where rules are nonexistent, no one will listen to us seriously,
    and maybe even the entire conference will be seen as a waste of
    valueable resources, therefore causing its deletion. Know what I mean?

        you get flamed for asking idiotic questions as such...that's what
    happens.  use common sense.
    
        basically the policy is that if you star out a couple of letters of
    an obscene word, that does NOT make the word less obscene because it is
    still known what the word was supposed to be.
        I would assume a character sequence like "$@#*&!" would be
    acceptable because it is not referring to a specific obscene word,
    rather the tone created from an obscene word.
        but I am not the mod.

    According to ISC policy, swearing is not allowed... thus the rule
    against swearing in the first pla.  Swearing IS allowed in private
    conferences, but to make LEV_SOCIETY private does defy the point.
        We also see swearing in Poetry (I'm not sure why), but that
    probably has to do with the fact that swearing is more socially
    acceptable when used toward art... 
        Anyway, as to the number of asterisks in a word, technically (it
    would seem), to be okay, but the lines are fuzzy, and so the MOD call
    to ban them is a judgement call.  Also, if you read Sherm's note, you
    will see that his decision to ban this kind of "swearing" is based on
    his own interpretation of LEV, as are his rules concerning sexual
    explicitness, form-feeds, off-topic notes, and unusually long notes.
    See his posts for details.
        Of course, as LEVers, it is your right to state your opinions, and
    on the whole, LEV_SOCIETY should be run by the people.  But the MOD is
    responsible for the conference, and once he has heard and listened
    (objectively) to your views, he must weigh the implications carefully
    against the ideals of LEV.  The MOD, by definition, cannot let personal
    feelings interfere, but all said and done, the MOD's decision should be
    respected as law.
        Debate should always be allowed (either in this topic, or in
    another if it seems appropriate), but all LEVers should try their best
    to follow the set rules regardless of their opinions.  If you truly
    believe that a rule is Un-Lev, speak and you will be heard.  That is
    your right and obligation as an active, involved LEVer.  Sherm, as the
    MOD, will listen.  That's his job.  And if he doesn't agree, you're
    sure to see a reason why.
        The conference is only as good as the people in it.  Act
    interactively, and you're sure to see results.  But be open as well. 
    You may be surprised to find that you agree with your opponent's
    stance!
    
                                        That's all fer now...

         If you want to know the rules for notes, read SAMPLE_CONFERENCE.
    All the "default" rules are explained in there. But it doesn't stop
    there,... Moderators are alloud to alter those rules, using their
    judgement, to better the conference. The rules established in this
    conference have a purpose, or they would not be here. 

         The reason swearing is not aloud, is because the conference could
    survive well enough without it. Some people are offended by swear
    words. I for one, if you know me personally, could care less, since I
    have the mouth of a sailor. Get me mad, and it comes with the accent.
    ;) Starring out letters still implies swearing. Certain conferences,
    such as MUSIC_ROOM, and POETRY allow swearing, cause it is "appropiate"
    their, and the moderators of those conferences feel it has its place.

         Form feeds aren't aloud because they are ^$%!@%#(*&&&^*$%
    annoying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No one likes excessive formfeeds, and I have
    recieved complaints about them. That is why their use is prohibited
    here.

    Hey mad.... if you absolutely MUST swear, go to a different conference. 
    Swearing is not vital to conversation.  A habit, yes... I swear quite a
    bit (I used to work in a police station... it rubs off.)  However, it
    IS possible to speak/type/sign/etc. without use of profanity.
    
    
    If you cannot, I suggest you learn or leave... simple, eh?

    Sherm,
        Why are you deleting my topics?
        They were doing fine, and were already getting notes.  What's wrong
    with that?
    
        The whole purpose of creating new topics is so people who don't
    want to hear a certain type of note don't have to.
    
        Please explain for me your motivations for deleting these topics in
    what is supposed to be a free, WRITE conference.

         I am deleting topics that serve no purpose. I moved your notes to
    approprite topics where I saw fit. Your topics are not the only ones I
    deleted. I combined the two Movie topics into a general movie topic. I
    am also going to turn Write what you Feel to a Poetry topic, and put
    the rest of the stuff in Senseless Dribble. 

         LEV is starting to turn into an all out war again, and I'm not
    going to let it happen. This big posting contest better be all on topic
    and LEV in nature, or I will have to start getting *very* snotty about
    the way things are run here. 

         There is no need for repetive topics. The questions in Why? are
    not meant to be answered. You yourself Tony deleted the original
    BECAUSE Topic last year, in case you don't remember.

        Yes, I deleted topics from time to time... after an entire week
    count-down and with the approval of the people.  Remember the Nukage
    Topic?  It's gone now.  And who are you, who was I to say what was
    fluff and what wasn't?  I never deleted topics unless they were in
    DIRECT violation of the holy Laws of LEV.  See my notes from long ago
    in this topic to see my policy on topic deletion.
        I didn't delete notes either without at least alerting the people
    as to WHY I did it.  It wasn't my conference... I only ran it.  It was
    theirs, and if you look carefully, you will know that this will still
    be true.
        I do not feel that such drastic changes are justifiable without
    consulting the members of LEV, who should have a say in what happens in
    their conference.  I know you're trying to "save" this conference, but
    you are saying, "the people do not know what is good for them, but -I-
    do, and when I do these things, it is because it is for their own
    good."  You cannot judge that.  Only an individual can decide what is
    right for him and what is not.  I remember Sherm, the LEV-COP... before
    he became the LEV-GOD.  Power is a responsibility, and Sherm, I know
    you are only intending the best for our people, but in all this, we
    cannot lose sight of why we are here... why you are MOD.
        LEV is for fun.  Lightening up and having fun.  If it's fun to make
    a topic, that's great.  What's so bad about that?  If we go off topic a
    little sometimes for fun, why is that so bad?
        Please, Sherm, you are my friend, and I must emphasize that I do
    not intend this as a personal attack.  You are a good mod, and the
    people like you.  Rules are ok if the people agree.  But you can't just
    impose policies without their approval, for this conference is for us
    all.

         I will say it yet again,... LEV is *NOT* what it used to be while
    you, solenoid, was the Moderator. Things are different now, and I am
    doing my best to keep everything going on smooth wheels.

         Two of the topics I deleted, "The Because Topic" and "why Not?"
    were stupid topics. They were repetitive, and for what purpose do they
    serve? If I remember correctly, the old Because Topic was deleted while
    Tony was the Moderator.

         I also deleted the "Ask Sol Topic". What if *everyone* created a
    topic called "Ask (name) Topic"? Then you will see how ridiculous it
    was. I move the notes in that topic to Lev 94', where they should have
    been posted in the first place. And again I ask, wasn't it you Sol who
    deleted the "Ask Dr. Stoopid" topic? 

         Don't yet at me when I delete a topic, when you went and deleted
    many of the good topics during the NUKE fest. LEV_SOCIETY is not a big
    game. It is a place where we can get together and talk. Don't turn
    everything into Senseless Dribble.

         Ok, I guess I was wrong,... my mistake. The topic, "Walt's Corner"
    has been added to this conference. It is the old "Write What You Feel:
    topic renamed. 

         I knew that there are people who can't write poetry, but still
    wanted the topic, just didn't know what to call it. Ewokie did. :)

         Rules. What are rules? Why do we need them? What practical purpose
    do they serve other than make your life and my life miserable? Rules
    are no fun. Then, in concluesion, that must be Unlev.

         Let us look then at the definitions of those two words. Rule, and
    Levity. The following definitions are taken from The American Heritage
    Dictionary (Second College Edition) found in the Watson User Computing
    Center.

         Rule: To keep within proper limits; restrain.

         Levity: A light manner or attitude especially when inappropriate.
    Frivolity. (Frivolity means Unworthy of serious attention; trivial.)

         I guess the answer is in the two definitions. They seem to
    contradict themselves. Or does it? I don't know anymore. Maybe I am not
    supposessed to know. Does Levity exist with rules? 

         According to Houdini, I am a lousy moderator. I guess I am. That
    is up to you to decide. Quite frankly, I have had it with certain
    people telling me how to run the conference. "Do this", "Don't delete
    *MY* topic!!", "You outta do this,...". 

         With this conference getting close to 200 notes a day, or
    something like that, I thought I knew what I was doing. But apparently
    not. Rules do not fit into this conference according to its title. This
    conference can be the best if it had no rules whatsoever. 

         "Who cares if people are off topic? Who cares if there are
    repititous topics? This is Lev!!!" Brian repeatidly (sp? I put the
    dictionary away.) tells me this. He also says "This (or that) goes
    against the 2 holy laws, thus are wrong." And Tony is agreeing with him
    on most of this. 

         The reason Tony left was to get away from the crap that happened
    while there was no rules. Complete chaos is what resulted from no
    rules. Why should I try to set it straight? 

         I am not a quitter, but maybe letting a professional in the feild
    of Levity take this conference over will do it some good. (that was
    *very* sarcastic) I already lost Liz and Tony as friends, and wish to
    lose no more because of this troublesome conference.

         I am handing over the moderatorship to Houdini as of tomorrow.
    Then I am deleting LEV_SOCIETY from my notebook. I will get a heck of a
    lot more work done without having to read over 50 notes everytime I
    log in.

         I guess I am waging a losing battle here......

                        Signing off ......

      OK.  I'm now pissed and anyone who knows me, this is hard to do.  
    I have been watching (after all this is a fun conference, and I enjoy
    the humor and the people.), but this calls for me to voice my opinion,
    thats all it is, my opinion.
    
      Sherm, you did a good job.  It is not you has screwed up, or made any
    mistakes.  It is the Participants of Lev.  From what I understand,
    everyone wants just the Two rules of Lev.  Those two rules, mean
    anarchy, and Lev and Anarchy just don't mix.  They are a complete
    contradiction.
    
      Sol, when you were a moderator, you did a good job, and I'm sure
    Bryan or Brian, (sorry I don't know which spelling you prefer) will do
    the best job that he can.
    
      If everyone posted everything that they wanted to or everything that
    they felt, Lev would be filled to the hilt, with posts saying:  "Yeah,
    I agree."  or "shut-up".  And there is no place for that in Lev.  I
    think everyone that reads, and posts here realizes that kind of posting
    is for those that just want attention and have nothing better to do. 
    And if that statement offends anyone, Tough.  I think that the
    institution of a few rules, as painful as it might be, would be for the
    better for Lev, and the Moderators(which we seem to go through like old
    Jello).
    
      Once Everyone that posts here can grow up and realize that
    toleration, respect, understanding and moderation (as a verb) are values
    that everyone must possess to live in society, and using them in Lev
    certainly wouldn't hurt, either.
    
    You don't have to agree with me, just understand what I'm suggesting.

        I'm afraid I can't offer much... I wish I could offer some answer,
    some word that could clear this all up.
        Some of us exchanged opinions about the conference today.  It
    wasn't the right time.  All four of us walked away very distraught, and
    I'd imagine, very dissapointed for whatever personal reasons.
        I love a good debate.  But there are times when ideas are best left
    undebated.  Even valid thoughts can cause problems if offered at the
    wrong time.
        That's what I did, alright.  Opened my mouth where caution and
    perspective would've served me better.
        I'm still not sure exactly what happened.  I don't forfeit my
    friendship with anyone... if anything, I understand.  And if anyone
    chooses to hold ill-feelings against me, well, I don't blame them.
        I made a mistake... and I fear that there is no turning back from
    that.  But likewise, I cannot just hide away and separate myself from
    the whole thing.  I must take responsibility, for I cannot let you all
    just think, "Sherm's flyin' off the handle," for I know some of you may
    be so inclined.  He's justified.  A debate (arguement?) can't
    happen without back-and-forth conversation.
        Very much, I would like things to be stable again, for us to have
    peace again.  I was never mad at Sherm... or anyone.  I just had to
    stick up for my all-holy ideals.  Yay.  Lot o' Levity came out of that. 
    I am left with plenty of thinking to do.
        I'll do what I can to mend the situation - I just don't know what
    that is yet.  I agree with everyone else - Sherm is a good MOD, and I
    see no one better to oversee this conference than him.  That is not
    bull.  That is a fact.  That is why I chose him, and I still believe
    it.  Sherm, I believe in you, and I know that doesn't fix everything,
    or maybe even anything, but it is the very, very least I can do.
        
        
                                                Sincerely,

    For one thing, NOONE lost me as a friend today... at least not of my
    volition.  Sherm...Sol...Houdini... I was indeed a tad miffed when I
    left... not because I hated any of you, but because I was frustrated. 
    I was frustrated because none of you seemed to be interested in any
    sort of middle ground.  You just seemed to be yelling without
    listening, and that sort of thing has always gotten my ire up. 
    However, this does not eliminate you guys as friends.
    
    Since the yelling has ceased, perhaps now I can state my opinions
    openly and without fear of malice or interruption.
    
    Sherm... you stated that a conference cannot exist without rules, a
    moderator's job is to enforce these rules, and thus you were just doing
    your job to the best of your ability.  Sol... you stated that LEV is
    not about a bunch of rules, rather a place to "lighten up".  I see both
    of these things, and believe each to an extent.
    
    I personally think that rules are a terrific thing... they protect and
    aid us to see what is acceptable in a given area.  I think LEV should
    indeed have rules, and these rules should be enforced consistently. 
    However, there are only two rules that I have ever seen actually coded
    in LEV... No swearing and no personal attacks.  Any others I am not
    really sure of.  As far as I know, the debate was sparked by the
    deletion of two topics that were deleted without consulting anyone
    else, and neither broke these rules.  I understand the rationale behind
    these deletions.  I agree with the rationale behind these deletions. 
    But Sol did have a valid point that people should have been consulted. 
    No one person will ever agree one hundred percent with the opinions of
    thirty or so people.  Thus, one person's beliefs in what is a valid
    topic cannot always coincide with the feelings of the rest of the
    conference.  Thus, I believe the rest of the people, or at least a few
    others from the conference... anyone!... should have been consulted or
    at least advised of/forwarned that topics were to be deleted.  Maybe in
    the future a topic the mod just personally dislikes for whatever
    reason, but many in the conference do like gets deleted.  "The Hope
    Chest" for example.  The mod hates it... nothing really wrong rulewise
    with it, it just gets on his nerves... and deletes it.  Several people
    will understandably be peeved.  Consulting people and asking them to
    defend it if they want to save it may save some strife.  I know this
    has been tried, and people didn't take it seriously before.  Perhaps we
    have matured enough to try it again.  Perhaps I am too hopeful.... I
    don't know.  But we have to try these things so that LEV doesn't become
    a battlefield.
    
    Basically, my suggestions are this.
    
    1.  Rules.  Codify 'em.  Simple stuff... No swearing... no personal
    attacks.... no repetitive topics.... whatever sounds fair and
    reasonable.
    
    2.  If there is a topic to be deleted, let people know which and why,
    and, if there is indeed something to be debated about it, LEVVERS...LET
    THE MOD KNOW!!!!! They are indeed not psychic.  Let's make it work this
    time.
    
    
    I consider most of this a family.  Let's not wreck it.  Instead, let us
    just act like the rational, intelligent people I know we all are
    (otherwise I wouldn't care so blasted much about this group) and settle
    these differences intelligently.
    
    
    Thank you very much,

        Hello I am the new student moderator of LEV.  I do not want to be
    mod, so in a few weeks we will hold elections for a new mod.  I have
    not thought exactly how this will work so I won't set a date yet.
    
    Until then, I promise to act in the best interest of LEV. 
    
    I will work hard. Just remember no personal attacks and no swearing.
    
    Form feeds are kool. But use them wisely.
    
    
    Any note of a un-lev nature will be extracted, mailed to the author
    with an explaination of why it is un-lev, and deleted from the
    conference.  
    
    This is still a write confrence. So post away! Have fun, drink pepsi.
    
    
    Or coke if you prefer. 
    
    
                                I care about this conference.

        War finally broke out eh?  Well, I have some ideas of my own to
    share.
    
        1)  Sherm did a good job.  As moderator of the conference, he is in
    charge, he makes the call.  If he does something you object to, you
    bring it up.  Let the opinions fly.  But in the end, he must make the
    call.  And I can hear many people raising objections out there.  Who
    gave him the power to decide?  By what right?  By the right WE gave
    him, and the power WE gave him.  Lets face it people, there has to be a
    leader, someone to take charge and act as he feels fit, within certain
    restraints.  Sherm never broke any of those restraints.  Remember,
    total democracy is just as bad as total dictatorship.
    
        2)  All you holier then thou 'that ain't lev' yellers can go find a
    hole to die in for all I care bout you.  'Unity, acceptance, fun' my
    butt.  More like 'Walk the path of our enlightened ways or get burned
    on the cross'.  The ONLY person here that I still have respect for and
    truly is LEV by his definition is Sol.  He truly tries to live up to
    it.  The rest of you have become zealous warriors of some false LEV
    idea and are pissing a lot of people off.  This Sol, is why I object to
    your ideas, but I will state that in another topic.
    
        3)  I'm quite dismayed to find our new mod, THE most ardent Sherm
    basher in here, is turning down the oppurtunity to be mod.  What the
    hell?  Want all the priviledges, but none of the responsibilty?  Are
    you so afraid that when you are leader that all this will turn against
    you?  Maybe, maybe not.  But I'm glad you get to walk in Sherm's shoes
    for a while at least, perhaps you won't be so quick to judge next time.
    
        4)  Lastly, this conference sux.  You'll see me in VaxLandia and
    maybe Town Pub from now on only.  At least there, you can speak your
    mind.

        I think the whole lot of you (with the exception of a few) are
    being total fools about this whole thing and blowing everything WAY out
    of proportion.  Think about it...what is the real issue here?  Is it
    that either Sol, Sherm, or Tony are doing a bad job?  No.  It's the
    fact no person in charge can satisfy everybody.  Brian, if you think
    you can do this, you're wrong.  Sol and Sherm found out the hard way. 
    It's in human nature to be miserable and to bitch about it.  
    
        Personally, I'm tired of all the arguing and bickering going on
    here.  It's like a big soap opera, and I have enough of that going on
    in my life anyway.  Thus, I'm leaving the conference until things are
    straightened out.  To paraphrase Sherm, I can use the time it'll give
    me not having to read 300 new notes a day.

        Take heart, -jd, we have had a change of MOD, yes, but what has
    changed?  The Conference of LEV_SOCIETY has always been the People who
    participate in it, not who watches over it.
        Admittedly, we are presently in a rather uncomfortable situation,
    but it will pass.  The immediate "danger" is over, and all that is left
    is to sort out a few pieces and our conference shall be up and running
    again, good as new.
        In the meantime, like I said, nothing is different... we have all
    the same topics, all the same people, all the same desire to have a
    little fun... that isn't changed.  The rest will take care of itself. 
    People just want things to settle down.
        Please, do not fear that this conference will run over a cliff.  We
    are the biggest conference on the VAX (us and Skippy's) and that's not
    going to fizzle because of 1 misunderstanding.  And you know I would
    never let that happen.  ;)  I would gladly take the reigns if the need
    were great enough.  I love this conference, and believe in what it
    stands for.  But I'm not the only one.  We ALL do.  We all enjoy the
    chance to kick back with some friends, and do our part to make this a
    better place.  We all care about the ideals of this conference, in
    whatever way we may interpret them.  Simply, we care about LEV.  And
    that is why this conference will not die.

    I agree with the Joker... this group is indeed like my family. 
    Unfortunately, like my family, it is also causing me a great deal of
    undue stress, stress that is becoming rather intolerable for me.  I
    will thusly be pulling out of LEV for a time... posting once in a
    while, but not being a terribly active participant.

    I'm glad I got her when I did.
    But speaking frankly, I feel that it really is all over blown.
    
    Before anyone gets hot, think about it.  We have 47 topics here, I'm
    sure you can find one that will fit your needs.  Also, if you had
    skipped this whole introduction and just started reading the other
    notes in all of the sections, everything really appeared to be fine.
    
    MOD of LEV is no easy job, but hey, who is in charge, do what you feel
    is BEST FOR THE CONFERENCE, the way in which you do that is for you to
    decide.

    Dear Friends in Lev,
    
    
    
    In a little while, Dank will officialy be the Mod of Lev. 
    
    I am now steping down as my Major (C.S) does not let me donate all
    the time and carefull attention this conference needs to flurish.
    
        I am gratefull I was treated with respect as your mod, give Dank
    the same respect. In thesame way, Dank give us the respect to listen to constuctive 
    criticism, if given by the members, it is never intended in malice, but
    is what makes the philosphy of lev so important. LEV is democracy,
    democracy is discussion and debate.

    Well, Congrats you have a new Moderator.  I have to say thanks to those
    that support me and for those that don't I hope that we can find each
    others company pleasurable after all.....
    
        OK, let's get the rules outta the way:
    There will be virtually no change.  The usual applies. 1) No bashing or
    personal attacks.  2) Any swearing should be denoted using profanity
    symbols (ie.  *&#%*#^).  Other than that, stay on topic (within
    limits) and have fun.  I'm not going to be nit-picky about things, so
    I'm depending on you all to monitor your own activities.  If I feel
    that something is wrong, I will let the appropriate people know.
    
        Just remember, the most important thing here is that we all have
    fun.  That's what this place is about and that's what the #1 prioRITy
    (sorry, had to :)  ) is going to stay.  So, everyone continue to have
    fun, and please be patient with my new MODship.  I'll try to make my
    adaptation as quick and painless as possible!  :)

    I also have say that this malice towards Jeff doesn't belong here as
    Sol said.  Whether you personally like him or not is none of my
    business, but please do not do that here.  That's what the conference
    is here for.  We've never had a problem like this in here, and let's
    keep it that way! :)

    Awww...you guys....but that's ok...I'm not a labber, as I can use the
    vax whenever I want, so feel free to post to your hearts' content. 
    However, when I was in NYC, I was contemplating calling  LD to the vax. 
    As a matter of fact, I was just about to do so when My dad asked me
    what I was doing, and I told him.  Never saw him turn off the computer
    so fast.....and he's always had problems doing that...

    ok...i've had it...this is getting way out of had and i think that a
    lot of older members will back me up...i hate having to get up in the
    morning and having 500 new notes to read...i don't mind 50 or so, but
    500 is just a little out of hand...and the culprits are the new
    freshmen...so CUT IT OUT...LEV IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE USED AS AN
    INTERMITERANTRY BETWEEN YOU PEOPLE!!!!   USE MSG/C FOR CRIP SAKE!!!!  I
    THINK THAT MOST OF THE OLDER LEV'ERS WILL BACK ME UP ON THIS...AND I
    DON'T REALLY CARE IF YOU GUYS FLAME ME...I SAW YOU THE OTHER DAY IN THE
    LAB AND I WAS VERY DISSAPPOINTED WITH YOU...ALL YOU DO IS PUT IN AS
    MANY NOTES AS YOU POSSIBLY CAN...SEVERAL OLDER MEMBERS HAVE ALREADY
    TALKED WITH ME AND WE ALL AGREE THAT WE ARE VERY CLOSE TO LEAVING IF
    THIS CONTINUES...WE WILL JUST START OUR OWN CONFERENCE OR JUST TALK
    LIKE NORMAL HUMAN BEINGS...i know that you guys are trying to just fit
    in, but instead you are just being a pain in the #@$% (i am sure that
    you can figure out what i just said) and we are all sick of it...i do
    believe that i speak for most old members of lev...SO DON'T USE THIS
    CONFERENCE AS A MAILING UTILITY!!!!!!  WE ARE SICK OF THIS CRAP AND
    WON'T PUT UP WITH IT ANYMORE!!!!

        that's enough cannon fodder right there.  the goddess of posting
    has spoken!  wow!  yeah, it is a little excessive. there are other
    utilities on the vax that would support the nature of these
    conversations.  ie.  msg/c, phone, mail.  you could even meet for lunch
    or dinner and talk!  wow!  imagine that.

    I agree with mad hatter.  last spring we maxed out at *maybe* on a real
    boring day 100 notes in a day.  and that was rare.  But when I log in
    and find 1300 to read, I don't.  I set seen.  And the point of the
    conference is lost.

    Well that's why we are cleaning out the conference (topic-wise).
    Sensless postings can be put in POST WAR.  Other than that, stay on
    topic.  That should put some kind of order on things.....
    
        Also, yes a point needs to be made:  Idle chatter should be done
    with MSG, SEND, or PHONE.  Post posts aonly.  Thanks!  :)

    Sometimes I find its better to stay quite and not say anything when you
    have nothing to say, rather than open your mouth (in this case, type)
    and remove all doubt (I'm not going to say what about).
    
    
    If you have something to say, GREAT!  If you are posting just because
    there isn't much action going on well...then...thats a different story.

    True, people... this is the Official Stuff Topic, folks... we shouldn't
    be jibbering in here.  This is mostly a place for serious discussion
    only.
    
    I'll admit, I like to post as much as the best of them... especially
    during Freshman Initiation.  But there's a time to come down off that
    posting-high and just go with the flow.
    
    N U has been my friend lately, and I used to read ALL the notes...
    there were 900 new notes today, and although this makes me proud for
    our success, most of that 900 is unintelligable.
    
    Tas is right... we do lose the point of the conference if we drown all
    the good in thousands of fluffy notes.  If we have a message, who will
    see it?
    
    That was the reason for the Big LEV Nuke Fest of 92-93.  Had to clean
    it out.  That's also the reason for the NUKE topic.  People will post
    about anything, cuz it's fun... but if it goes up for nukage, who will
    mourn it's passing?  The fluff topics will come back... that's okay...
    but when we've had our fun, we have to clean up.
    
    On the other hand, I've seen some Great postings lately... really good
    poems and writings and Role-Playings and Philosophy.  I enjoy that
    part.  (Thanks for giving me a run for my money, Tas!  I have new stuff
    to consider every day!)  So that is cool.  But 1000+ notes a day is a
    little much for even VAXSol to handle.
    
    I say proceed with the nukages... Dank shall obliterate whatever is not
    supported sufficiently, so help him along!
    
                                                That's All
                                                LEV long and Prosper

    I have to agree.  I am one of the culprits, (the rest know who you
    are), and I agree it has gotten ridiculous.  I will make a promise,
    (posting it in official things to make it official) to not post for the
    sake of posting except in post war and that I will only speak when I
    have something to ADD to a TOPIC, not to the conversation.  I will
    leave personal replies to e-mail or the phone and I hope all others
    will take this pledge and to make it an unwritten third rule of LEV.

    How the hell is everyone going to stop if you have that attitude!?!? 
    If you say you won't stop until they (us) do, and they say the same
    thing, then we're just sitting here circling around.  
    
        When I got here, there were all these posts like this, so I went
    and had fun like everyone else is doing.  I agree though, I don't think
    I want to sit in front of the damn VAX for over two hours a day.  It's

    Don't worry about the notes file.  It can be compressed.  I had mine
    over five-thousand blocks.  And I couldn't do anything!  So someone
    told me to type "COMPRESS NOTES$NOTEBOOK.NOTE" and it compressed it
    down to fifty blocks.  You should try it!!

    No kidding.  My God, man, be an individual.  Is that the kind of person
    you are?  Go with the crowd?  Trying to be cool?  Listen, guy...I got
    news for ya...it can't be that way.  You ALL gotta agree to clam the
    hell up now, at least enough so that the garbage can be cleared away. 
    It's been said many time already, and I'll say it again...use mail,
    msg, send, phone, or even talk in person...sheesh.  This isn't a damn
    BBS where it's ok post crap.  I hope you realize that ISC keeps tabs on
    notes conferences, and if one is getting out of hand, guess what?  THEY
    DELETE IT!!  Now, maybe ya'll don't care, but personally, this
    conference used to be great, and I think Greg can bring it back to that
    status, but we have to help him.  Try to post MEANINGFUL posts, that
    agree with the topic.  Don't post just to post something, PLEASE.  Or I
    may have to come looking for you....  :)

    What the hell?! I leave for almost a day and everyone it arguing? Come
    on, you can go up to anyone and argue with them, but this conference is
    a place to be friendly and have fun. At least that's what I thought it
    was. I never really thought about it, but now that I have, I agree with
    cutting down on posts of unmeaningful stuff. I was down to 35 at 2:00
    this afternoon, and when I logged in now (a little after 8), there were
    404! Most of which I really didn't have to waste my time reading, but
    did anyway looking for the worth while ones. I with the plan.

    We are attempting to have a fruitful discussion here... but TWINKY has
    brought up a good point.  Be careful in your critisisms - be sure that
    they are constructive, folks, for we must treat each other with mutual
    respect, even if we don't always agree.  And that goes for everyone...
    
        I know most of you know, but just a reminder for those who do not.

    Ok, first of all this is mainly to just give everyone a chance to meet
    people. If you want to eat or drink, bring money. If people show up and
    are interested in doing this again, then we can try for a real party
    (haven't forgeten :) ) and then maybe field trips to various
    destinations around town.
    
    Second, since people are now giving input. I've decided that maybe
    trying two times. How about Wednesday at 5:00? If you can't make that
    time complain again. Also, if most people can make the Wednesday time,
    I'll drop the Thursday time. However, BOTH TIMES ARE NOW BOTH VALID!!!

    Re. Rocky Horror Picture Show---
    
        I've been wanting to see this for some time now in a real theatre,
    (yes, I'm still a virgin :) and since everyone kept going last year and
    I didn't, I'm making up for it.
    
        So far I think only Liz and I are going.  (She might even be _in_
    it!)  Nevertheless, I've still got room for two more in my car.  I
    invited Ewokie so far, but she hasn't gotten back to me.  Also, I think
    Gak and ETRigan expressed interest.
    
        So if we got some more drivers, maybe we could make this a LEV
    trip.  Anyone interested, drop me some mail and we'll work it out.

    Ok, I'm going to show up at 5:00 but hopefully a little earlier.  How
    about we all gather up in the back in the smoking section near the exit
    door going back into the SAU near Campus Cutters. To be more specific,
    go into the Ritz through the exit in the SAU and go up the 2 steps on
    the right and you're there. That area is usually empty at night.
    
    For those of you that don't me, which is about half, I'm 5'8", brown
    hair, probably be wearing jeans and a sweat shirt. 

    Hope to see most of you there.

    Well, the get together was a fair success. About 10-15 showed up. Thank

    merit another try at this. Look for something soon on a Friday or

    OK People.  Tonite I will post an OFFICIAL nuke list.  I'll give 48
    hours to rebute the list (with valid reasons, other than "It's cool" 
    "It's dumb").  On Thurs Evening, I will close lev for about an hour and
    remove the topics, clean out all postings (so save 'em if you want to
    keep something) and re-number the remaining topics.  We have a lotta 
    number gaps in there! :)

    Just a suggestion Dank...
    
        No one in there right mind will ever go back and read the first 700
    posts in Post War
    
        Considering the growth rate of that topic, you should delete it
    about evry 500 or so...leaving only 200 sensless things in there.
    
        Same for vax tag and all the others that _no one_ in there right
    mind will ever go back and read....

    I also think we should clean out Official Stuff, leaving only the most
    recent/fundamental stuff.  People can read this topic for The Rules of
    the conference, and also for pressing new concerns/ideas.  Nobody will
    read it if it has 200 posts.  Some important (but not official notes)
    should probably be moved elsewhere...
    
        That way, even if someone is inclined to skip the fluff. they will
    know that Official Stuff has only the most fundamental, bottom-line
    stuff in it.
    
                                                my opinion
