Application and Membership has been restricted; however, to make sure that the privacy issue is understood, the following rules are set forth. </div> <div> By your online participation in Aviculture Microbiology Foundation Inc., you agree to adhere to the following rules:  </div> <bR> <div> 1. You will not flame anyone in a different public forum, and especially from a member's or individual's postings to SEGMENT.   </div> <bR> <div> 2. You will not copy, quote or forward any other member's post from this list to another group or person. Even with the other member's accord, it might be possible to reveal personal information about others without so intending.   </div> <bR> <div> 3. You will not share personal information concerning conditions in another member's home or aviary as revealed in posts to this list. This means neither personal addresses or telephone numbers of others shall be shared with third parties, nor information regarding any specific aviary layout, nor information about samples collected for study on a participant's property or place of business.   While you are certainly not required to recommend the aviaries represented here, you are not permitted to discuss with third parties health information about a list participant's flock or individual animal which you learned as a result of that individual's posting to this list. If a third party asks you for a recommendation of a list participant and you are hesitant to recommend because of a health issue discussed here, please address the participant privately and directly.   </div> <bR> <div> 4. You agree that the information presented here is to be considered "informal"and the skills you may learn are to be used solely for your own edification. This forum is not intended to replace veterinary medicine in any way. The participants are strongly encouraged to work with their own avian veterinarians in using their findings. To perform these tests for other people may be construed as practicing veterinary medicine. </div> <bR> <div> 5. You agree not to post dosages of prescribed medications. If you want to informally discuss these topics, there is a chat room available which can be used as our laboratory conference room.</div> <bR> <div> 6.

Please do identify your aviary, if you have one, in your signature line.</div> <bR> <div> This information is not intended to replace formal study for training technicians.</div> <bR> <div> Thank you for your participation with the Aviculture Microbiology Foundation, Inc. </div> <div> Now let's go kick some bacterial cellwall! </div> <bR> <div> Cherane Pefley, Founder and Executive Director</div> <bR> <bR> <div>  Copyright © 1999-2005.
