1. Take some time and read the posts. After you read the first page, scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page and you will see some numbers on the lower right hand corner. These are links to older pages full of many quality posts.

2. Do not expect to ask a question and get an answer within the first day. We all have busy lives and do not always check the boards every day. You may need to bump your question up a time or two. This is perfectly acceptable. If you do not know what a bump is, ask Mrs. Gunns

3. Research you question BEFORE you post. Been seeing many of the same questions - most of which have been discussed at length.

4. Be as detailed as possible. We do not know you, what you have done in the past, what you look like, what you are currently doing, or your goals. Help us help you. Do not expect to ask a one-line question and get a book of answers in response.

5. No whining, crying, self pity, moaning, or bitching (well, a little bitching is ok). We all have had our own crosses to bear. We all have had some down right shitty life experiences. NO EXCUSES! This board is here to help you overcome, grow, and be successful. Be positive and grateful that we have each other - take nothing for granted.

6. Agree to disagree. There is more than one way to skin a cat. This is sometimes confusing to newer members, but that's just the way it goes. Be kind in your posts should you disagree, the written word will always come across 10x more harshly. And try not to flame - unless they truly disserve it, and every now and again some one does need a wakeup call....

7. Never blindly accept advice from any board member. I make mistakes, and will continue to do so until I kick the bucket. I try not to, but it does happen. You are ultimately responsible for your own actions. Double check everything until your satisfied. Get second opinions.

8. Never assume someone who has only 25 post to be ignorant. Never assume anyone who as 1000 posts to know what the heck they are talking about.

9. Women and men are not the same. This may sound funny, but it is a very important fact - especially today when everyone must be politically correct and all that shit. We always have been different and always will. It is not good, it is not bad, it's just the way it is. Please keep this in mind when you post questions and receive advice.

10. Participate! This board is only as good as the members WHO POST. We all have good info to pass along. A simple post saying you agree with someone else's advise is VERY important. It provides additional feedback and a stronger confirmation to the person asking the original question. And of course, if you disagree, back your statement up with as much info as you can.
