Some Rules:
Do make this board an enjoyable place to visit; please follow this list of simple rules.
1. Do not put each other down. No question is stupid if you don't know the answer.
2. Don't spam the members. 1) Spamming by harvesting e-mail addresses for unsolicited e-mail about products or services. Members once you have registered go to the profile area and change user name and prevent viewing of e-mail address-if that is your desire. 2) Making posts with no input in order to get attention for self or your web-site. Example would be posting "cool" as a response to numerous posts.
