Misc.invest.financial-plan is a *moderated* newsgroup, meaning
moderators review posts.
  
In general you can expect that any well-tempered post dealing with
general financial planning will be posted.  Further:

1.  Lengthy posts, cross posts, "colorful" language, copyrighted
material, in depth extensive conversations in one area of financial
planning and political opinions should be directed elsewhere.  And
except in flattering terms, reference to another poster or group of
people is discouraged.

2.  We urge everyone to trim posts to which they respond.  "Trim"
means that except for a FEW lines to provide context, the previous
posts are deleted (keep in mind that the *entire* previous post is
still on the newsgroup for all to read).  For more on posting
etiquette, go to http://www.greenend.org.uk/rjk/2000/06/14/quoting

3.  The developing misc.invest.financial-plan FAQ is at
http://financial-planning.algebra.com/   Posters are requested to
refer new participants to it instead of repeating earlier discussions.
Submissions to the FAQ are encouraged and should be directed to the
FAQ Editor's private email which is   mifp_faq at pacbell dot net

4.  Advertisements/solicitations are not allowed.  A commercial
reference in the signature lines is Ok as long as the body of the post
makes a substantive contribution.

5.  Where posts do not comply with the guidelines, the poster uses a
working email address and the Moderator has time, the moderators will
return the post with a suggestion/comment.  Posts from repeat
offenders will be ignored. 

6.  The moderators have adopted a fast approval process for those
posters who *consistently* comply with the guidelines.  That list is
reviewed periodically for both additions and deletions.

Lastly, the moderators cannot explain why posts occasionally appear on
some news readers and not on others.  Inquiries about same should be
directed to the affected news server.
