some basic things about posting ...

zenith

Here's a short list of things to remember when posting:

> Before posting a new topic, make sure it's the right forum
> Even if it's the right forum, is it really worth posting as a new topic?
> When you reply, it's important to stay on-topic: that is, that you're responding to the original post, or where the topic is going to
> "Me too" is not very worthwhile as a post
> When quoting someone, use as much as is necessary to correctly and in-context quote someone, but as little as is possible so the rest of us don't have to wade through it
> Please minimise the amount of funny fonts or formatting you use, as it can bug some people
> Spelling matters not one jot, if you've got something to say
> People who criticise your spelling are generally losing the argument
> Long or short, take as much time as it needs to make your point: don't fire a fast thought off, as you may get it arseways. Check before hitting submit
> When referring to a website, or some other bit of the internet, include a link where possible
> No-one's perfect, and we're not all Mark Twain: if you're giving your opinion, other people will give theirs -- as they're entitled too. Don't hate them for it, lamp into them, or criticise their spelling. Respond to their points in a reasoned manner.
> If you don't understand a word, http://www.dictionary.com is generally a good bet.
> The more you post, the higher your level goes (newbie, fast newbie, insane poster, number of stars, etc. ) This counts for nothing, and is generally a bit of fun.
> You don't have to check back every day, but if you start a fight, it's generally good manners to stick around and defend your position.
> Please be aware that it's generally a good idea to practice expressing your opinion, and that you should avoid a flame war until you've developed a small amount of reputation in the community, as it's far to easy for opponents to say "What the hell does he know, with two posts to his name?"
> Graphical sigs should be pretty small, if you insist on having one.

YEHA, ME TOO....

BUT I am Mark Twain!


(when I specified Size=Huge I was kind of expecting letters the size of Godzilla, can this be looked into?)
