We're here to have fun, so we'll keep it simple.
1) I ask that you keep the well known four letter words to a minimum, employing them only when ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY to make your point.
2) I would expect we will all treat each other with respect. Disagreements are OK and expected - if we all agreed, there would be no reason to discuss anything. But, we can disagree without name calling (which seems to be the major reasons for the start of flame wars)
3) A corollary to (2) above is that a certain amount of "inter-service rivalry" is to be expected (even within the same service IE Infantry grunts vs Sig C pukes). This is similar to sibling rivalry - I can pick on my brother all day long but if someone else begins to pick on him - they got the both of us to reckon with. In other words - I love you but I still like pulling your chain occasionally
4) I don't expect we will be bothered by it too much but we do need to respect copyright laws. It is tempting to copy long posts from other sources, but a short quote, with a link, will keep us on safe ground. And there should be a reason for a cut and paste posting IE YOU need to make a point or say something other than just putting up someone else's words 'cause you think they are neat.
5) The PRIME DIRECTIVE -- enjoy the interaction and HAVE FUN
These are Jerry's rules, and they work anywhere. On with the discussions!
