Esav Benyamin ... REMINDERS

Posting announcements or stickies at the head of a forum is a great way to be sure no one will read them. Posting reminders of "how to" or "what not to" here in a blog is probably more of the same. But there are so many instructions I write again and again, in posts, in warnings, in infractions, that maybe putting some of them in one place will help.

  1. New rules often ignored.

    and remember what peace there may be in silence.
