This is a listing of fellow Land Rover owners who have offered assistance to those owners waylayed by the Rover Gods of Misfortune....translation, stranded far from home because their beloved lump of Birmabright is not being cooperative.

In order for this list to function more efficiently, A few rules of etiquette are proposed to be used when asking for assistance from a fellow BB member. This will hopefully help to reduce the instances of people getting "taken".

1. This list is for the use of the list members only. In order to ask for help from someone on the list, you must be on the list as well. Naturally, if you are travelling with or come across someone in need of help who is not on the list, you may go to the list for help. You must remember, however, that as the recommending' list member, you are partially responsible for the actions of that person.

2. This list is not for commercial purposes. This doesn't mean that you can't put your business on the list, though. It means that the list is not to be used for commercial mailings or announcements. In addition, if you are affiliated with a car oriented business, please note it on your listing.

3. Aid to a list member is completely voluntary. No one is required to help another list member, although they probably always will.

4. Beyond the bare necessities of aid, don't ask for things that you know are a hardship for someone. If they can afford to offer it, they will do so.

5. Pay, or at least offer to pay, for any part or service you use. By the same token, we've all been stranded because of a problem with our Rovers, so we're not going to gouge each other, right?

6. A thank you note, either on the 'net or by snail mail is always nice.

7. Advise members of people who are taking advantage of others and offer Kudos to those who go above and beyond the call of duty. Your mailing should include the list members Email addresses, add these to your address book as a group. Please preface the subject line in all mailings regarding the "Birmabright Brotherhood" with the letters BB. Advise the administrators if you believe there has been an abuse of the list (Send Email from BBList to administrators)

8. Information on the intranet is as you have posted it Please check your entry for errors/omissions.Keep the list up to date. If you find you are unable to correct something contact an administrator. (see Send Email, at bottom of page)

9. Please protect the integrity of this list. Keep it for your own benefit. Don't forward it to non members.

10. The list administrators reserve the right to exclude and/or delete members without reason or explanation.

11. Land Rover Owners who do not have Email access are accepted on this list as Auxiliary members. The above rules apply and in addition they must be "sponsored" by an Email member under whose name they will be listed.Auxiliary members will be listed under the Auxiliary member forum posted by the sponsoring member. Auxiliary members will obtain their copy of the list from their sponsor.

AND NOW THE SMALL PRINT (CYA) as required by our unfortunately litigious society.

THIS LIST IS PROVIDED AS A SERVICE TO LAND ROVER OWNING LIST MEMBERS. INCLUSION IN THIS LIST DOES NOT IMPLY ANY OBLIGATION TO ASSIST, NEITHER DOES IT IMPLY ANY MECHANICAL KNOWLEDGE OR ABILITY. ASSISTANCE IS PROVIDED PURELY AS A GENTLEMANS AGGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMMUNICATING PARTIES AT THE TIME OF CONTACT. THE ADMINISTRATORS, BIRMABRIGHTBROTHERHOOD.ORG AND MEMBERS OF THIS LIST ACCEPT NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ITS ACCURACY, ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION OR FOR ANY CONSEQUENCES ARISING FROM INCLUSION ON OR USE OF THE LIST. ANYONE ABUSING THE PRIVILEDGE OF MEMBERSHIP WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE LIST AFTER AN OPEN DISCUSSION OF THEIR TRANSGRESSION(S)

Well, I'm sure there is a lot more to say. Just remember, you could be on the other end someday. Keep that in mind when you either offer or ask for help.
