[Webmaster_forum] 2007 Web Rules

[webmaster at birminghampowersquadron.org]

I agree.  It is odd that they don't include our new requirements in
the emails.  We should petition ITCom for more useful emails.

I also agree on having your own Privacy/Disclaimer statements.
Afterall, USPS isn't acting through us like puppets, we are more
independent from National than they lead on.  The Trademark reference,
on the other hand, lists trademarks held by USPS National, so that
shouldn't change to accomodate the individual squadrons.

If anyone knows where the America's Boating Club logo is, perhaps they
could link to it in an email to follow these?
