  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.
