Guidelines for Responsible Use of the Internet

 Grex users have an obligation to use Internet access in a
 responsible and informed way, conforming to network etiquette
 (netiquette,) customs, and courtesies. Use of the Internet
 encompasses many different interconnected networks and
 computer systems with each system having its own rules and
 regulations regarding responsible use.
 
 Ultimately, as a user of the Internet and member of the
 Internet community, you are responsible for being aware of,
 and obeying all rules that apply to you.  Keep in mind that
 no set of rules can give you permission to commit acts that
 are illegal; and that you and perhaps Grex could be held
 liable for the consequences of such actions.
 
 As a general rule, users should identify themselves properly
 when using any Internet service. Users should also be careful
 about how they represent themselves, given that what they say
 or do could be interpreted as the opinion or policy of Grex.
 
 The use of the Internet is a privilege, not a right, that may
 be revoked at any time for inappropriate conduct. Examples of
 inappropriate conduct include:
 
 -  placing unlawful information on networks and systems;
 
 -  use of threatening, abusive, or otherwise objectionable 
 language in either public or private messages;
 
 -  sending "chain letters" or "broadcast" messages to lists 
 or individuals; and
 
 -  any activity that could cause congestion or disruption of 
 networks and systems.
