Site Etiquette -Everyone Please Read before posting!!

[Admin]

PLEASE:

Please welcome new members.
Make your questions (and responses) as clear as possible. Keep the questions short and to the point, avoiding "stories" as much as possible.
Avoid "chat lingo" & shorthand for the same reason as above. Some of us find it easier to read actual words and sentences than to try to figure out what SMS abbreviations stand for.
Do not post new problems or off topic on someone else's thread. That's called hijacking. Aside from being rude, your question may get lost in the shuffle.
Do not start "private" or non sequitur (look it up ) conversations in someone else's thread. Again, it's not polite.
If you don't know the answer to a posted problem or have nothing intelligent or helpful to contribute, please don't post in that thread. Our primary goal is to help, not to further confuse.
Try to post questions in the appropriate thread. Moderators will move them if needed, but it's easier for all concerned if they are where they belong in the first place.
Please use standard size font when posting. All caps or large or small fonts or all bold or italic is not only hard to read, it's generally considered poor forum etiquette. For example, all caps is considered the equivalent of YELLING.
Of course foul language and rude behavior will not be tolerated. Neither will spam or advertising of any sort.
Use common sense when posting. We are a public. We are frequented by people of all ages and nationalities. What you find humorous others may very well find crude or offensive. 
Remember you get out of it what you put into it.
By all means we want you to enjoy yourselves here!
