I had been wondering about this: what exactly is appropriate or
inappropriate to discuss in this list, vis-a-vis system details?  The only
general info I found on the list website was at
http://innopacusers.org/list/list_etiquette.html:

- Because of the open nature of the list, please be mindful subscribers have
a responsibility to help maintain the confidentiality of III's proprietary
information concerning the system. The IUG Steering Committee reserves the
right to moderate the list should conditions warrant [e.g. continuance of
inappropriate threads, security concerns, etc.].

I've seen some fairly in-depth discussions of the capabilities of the system
on-list, but the really proprietary stuff seems to be hidden from the
customers as well, if I am typical.  Are there more specific explicit or
implicit rules?

Many thanks,
