  Article Format

         1. Articles posted to dfw.singles MUST be flat-ASCII. This means:
              1. No Binary postings, uuencoded or base64.
              2. No MIME encoded messages. Posts SHOULD be readable by the
                 simplest text-only newsreader.
              3. No HTML, although HTML-like emoticons are acceptable.
              4. No characters with a value greater than 127 in any part
                 of the post.
         2. Posts SHOULD be shorter than 30K in size. Longer items SHOULD
            be made available for FTP or HTTP download and a pointer to
            that file posted.
         3. Posts MUST contain a valid From address, unless the ".invalid"
            domain is used (see RFC 1036). Spam blocks are acceptable. By
            definition USENET newsgroups are a broadcast medium. If you
            have a post that needs to be anonymous, it is not a valid
            topic for dfw.singles. Post this material elsewhere.
         4. ROT13 encoding SHOULD NOT be used on any field in the headers.
            Nor should any attempts, except minimal spam blocks, be made
            to obscure the origins of the posting.
         5. Posts MUST contain a "Abuse-Reports-To:" or "X-Complaints-To:"
            header with a valid email address. When RFC1036 is updated,
            this line SHOULD be adjusted to comply with the latest
            specifications. Adding or replacing this header is the
            responsibility of the news server where the article was
            injected.

          Failing to follow the above formatting requirements could result
          in an article being canceled instantly and without warning by an
          authorized moderation device (human or otherwise) for the group
          in question. Articles cross-posted to other groups and
          dfw.singles must still follow the criteria of dfw.singles and be
          subject to these rules.
