Posting guidelines#
Someone suggested the rule "If you wouldn't say it to your Mom, don't post it here." However, unless you've got a mom like Dilbert's (who can tell the difference between packet-routing networks and circuit-switching networks),
the
mom rule seems a tad overspecified. So:
For everyone:
- All postings must be civil.
- Off-topic posts must be humorous and not dominate the group.
For QNX employees:
- Don't mention any topic covered by a customer's NDA with QNX.
- Don't talk about you-know-what until you-know-when.
