- Try to keep things on topic
- If you have a question, please try searching for previous discussions, maybe it has already been answered
- Reposts are fine, but should have at least a couple of weeks in between so that the post can reach a new audience

If their website doesn't work, start calling and sending letters, too. When it starts affecting more than the IT staff, things might change.
