| ____________________________________________________________________________ -1- To join AUTISM CHAT AND SHARE it is required that you tell the managers a little about yourself and why you want to join this group when applying to become a member. Any applications without an introduction message will not be accepted. However, an e-mail will be sent back to you asking and/or reminding you to please re-apply with an intro message. -2- It is strongly recommended that you reply to messages directly from the site. When you are answering post from your personal inboxes, sometimes you are (without knowing) automatically posting the e-mail address of the person you are replying to... Their e-mail addresses are often attached (depending on their or your internet suppliers) and are automatically pasted on your replies and on our boards where anyone surfing onto our site can see it... Therefore, in order to avoid this, we strongly recommend replying from our "Post Office" or " Message Boards" or from the "What's New" page. This is for your own protection as well as for fellow members... Note: Non-members do not have access to our personal profiles so they cannot see your e-mail addresses if you chose to post it there... Nevertheless, we DO NOT recommend posting your e-mail addresses in your profiles. If you need help with your personal profile e-mail settings, please contact us at : autismchatandshare-managers@groups.msn.com -3- The only rule we hold firmly here is R E S P E C T . Even though our boards are closely monitored, please keep in mind that we have many members here, which also means that we may have many different opinions on different matters and issues. If you should happen to stumble on a certain post or message that you do not relate to or disagree with, please simply move on to another topic... By doing this, we all avoid conflicts of any kind. We at ACAS, Chat, Share & Support each other ~ May what you see, feel and read here, help you to remember that you are not alone... Thank you so much for your kind cooperation !
