Okay, Folks, here is what YETI wants from you and especially what it doesn't want. If you have anything interesting for the YETI, send an e-mail. This can be a short text, a poem, a picture, but also a small sound- or video-sample. Don't let the e-mail become much bigger than 100 kb. If the YETI is interested in what you have for him, it will surely ask for more. YETI is always looking for interesting stuff from you - and believe it, anything can be interesting for some people...

One thing:
You have to accept all the rules, that go with the netiquette!!! Though it was written especially for newsgroups it shows a good way how to act at the YETI-net.
That is very important!!!
The YETI doesn't want to read any mails with sexistic stuff, no racial discrimination or criminal contents, nothing that breaks the law.
Check out a short summary of the netiquette. If you want to know more about it, visit the webpage. YETI does not accept any anonymous mails. Give it your real name in any case. If you don't want to be recognized by your mail it's okay. YETI can publish your mail without your name... but YETI has to know your name.

Remember: Anonymous e-mails will go directly unread to the waste-paper-basket!!!
