I saw this as a site rule elsewhere and thought you might like to adopt it Ed.
//You can respectfully disagree with the message or topic, but you cannot attack the messenger. This includes attacks against the user’s spelling or command of written English, or belittling a user for posting a duplicate topic.//
Rules are rules and AB has many which I endeavour to follow. However, I would wish to see them all in a 'single' page printed format.
Perhaps the Ed can list them and send us an e/mail which sets them out; with a warning that anyone who ignores them is in danger of being suspended or even banned.
Hope there is not a rule forbidding such comments as I have now made.!!
There is a button called report for inane remarks, Ron! (lol)
Actually, maidup's comments isn't too bad except for the last point, duplicate or triplicate topics should be dumped on by us. If a newbie, ok a friendly warning, but if an existing member, (like one earlier on William Blake), then bam!
