Rec.Games.Bridge Style Guide
Advice on Style for Contributions to rec.games.bridge
The quality of a newsgroup will benefit if its community adheres to certain conventions in presentation and style. In this posting we provide some suggestions concerning contributions to rec.games.bridge. We claim no authority, but hope that contributors to RGB will be able to use these suggestions to their advantage. (2004)

RGB is a text group. Like chess, RGB has some particular problems due to presenting hands and auctions. It is all too easy to make your article difficult to read on other members' computers. However using the formatting tips given herein will avoid such problems and keep discussion flowing smoothly.
