It could fit easily in a section that I propose be called "Courtesy". Sort of a "rules of engagement", to help the newcomers to our conversations. I believe it should be under the FAQ since each new member will hopefully read them at least once.
For example:
* Don't resurrect old threads unless there is something substansive you wish to add, or you wish to inform readers of the outcome of the subject. Of course, there are no absolute rules against this practice.
* Mild tangents to threads can be entertaining and informative, but please do not hijack threads to have your own questions answered. Start a new thread. That said, there is a lot of leeway in this, and some of the more interesting threads morph out of unrelated topics.
* Please do at least a couple searches before asking a question. Refer to the results of your searches when asking your question, so we can know how the question can be answered.
* Typing in all capitals is a written form of shouting. Please avoid this practice, unless, of course, you are shouting.
I'm sure there are other items that could be included. We could solicit input from other members, or just do a search of Gatorboy's past corrections and comments.
No offense, of course. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
