This is an auto-generated reminder of the group rules. The group rules have been
updated on February 17, 2009.

* You must send a post to the group at least once a week to be active in the
group. It can just be a simple hello and letting us know how you are doing,
questions about fitness, injuries and/or health, or giving your comment/feedback
on an article. You can lurk most of the week/time, but if you do not post once a
week, you will be removed.

* Please TRIM YOUR POSTS. This means that you should not include the whole
message you are replying to when you post to the Working_Out group. It tends to
clutter up the group and makes it difficult for digest readers to follow. It is
also hard on people with limited mailbox space or who have to pay for their
download time. It is best to trim included posts to no more than a few lines,
just enough to remind people what the post you are replying to was about. It's
also only polite to not make other members wade through the same email over and
over again on the digest. It's also a huge waste of bandwidth, esp. for those on
dial-up.

* Please keep the messages on-topic. All off-topics, including professional
sports, will be deleted immediately. Although, topics about general health and
diet will be allowed. There are many other yahoo groups for professional sports,
but this group is for people who can't/won't make the team on a professional
level.

* Although lurking is ok, member participation and being "active" in the group
would be nice. If you have any questions about an article, sport/exercise,
injury, diet/health or would like to see more information on a specific topic,
please feel feel to ask in the group.

* Do not advertise online stores of any kind. Spam is also not allowed. Personal
websites (if they involve giving advice or motivation on exercise, health and/or
diet) are ok as long as you're not promoting online stores and making money.
Spammers and money-making members will be deleted from the group. You are free
to share your work out blogs and/or food diaries. If you are involved with a
"runner's club", or a fitness group/event and you would like to invite people to
join you if they are in your area, feel free to do so by making an announcement
in the group and/or including it in the calender section. Charity events are
also ok.

* You may include links such as your personal blogs/websites, charity pages,
fitness yahoo groups and other related websites in your signature at the bottom
of each message you send to the group, but please ask permission first.

* Please do not include embedded photos or attachments to the messages you are
sending to the group without prior permission. YOU MUST ASK PERMISSION FIRST!
Images and attachments must be screened first to be considered appropriate for
the group. Attachments have also been disabled from members' use to avoid
sending viruses to the members who receive individual messages from the group.
So you must ask for permission first before attachments are enabled/allowed in
the messages. If you do embed or attach photos, etc without asking permission,
your message will be deleted.

* Do not bash anyone. No name-calling, insults, or offensive/hostile language
towards anyone. Please take debates and convertroverisal topics off the message
board. Debates will not result in a removal, but if there is any disrespect like
name-calling and insults towards another member, the violating member(s) may be
removed and banned from the group. This kind of behavior will not be tolerated.
If you have a problem with another member, please contact the group owner or
moderator by sending an email to Working_Out-owner@yahoogroups.com

* If you do not wish to receive daily digests or individual emails from the
group, please go to the group directly and click on "edit my membership" at the
top left corner to change your email options to "no email" or "special notices".
You may lurk if you wish, but participation would be nice so everyone can get to
know each other.

* If you chose to receive individual emails or daily digests from the group,
please check your email at least once a week to avoid bouncing. If you are found
bouncing, you will be removed, but not banned. Bouncing is when yahoo tries to
send you an email and for some reason it has been returned. Yahoo still records
your membership as bouncing. After requesting a "reactivation" email that was
sent to your account, and you neglected to respond, leaving the only option to
be unsubscription. You may rejoin the group when the problem or situation is
fixed. This does not apply to those who have unlimited inbox space such as yahoo
mail users.

* Last and most importantly, please enjoy your health and life.
