leonHey Folks,
Barry and I were talking this morning, as usual, and we both hit on a subject that is very important to the welfare of the board. It concerns board etiquette. The BST pages have some written rules and so does the main forum but the unwritten ones could be as, or more, important than the written ones. Barry said he was speaking with a dinner participant last night and the question came up of "how useful is the board?" in helping with card issues. I think the response was that it "can" be very helpful but all too often someone gets chastised for asking an innocent question. Even I, with somewhat lizard skin, don't ask some questions or make comments, in anticipation of getting flogged. I would only ask that everyone treat everyone else as they want to be treated. Try to be helpful. What comes around goes around. Try to remember to be nice and make this a place where a newbie, or a tenured veteran, feels comfortable asking questions. This should be our relaxation not more stress. It seems like the very best threads are the informative ones that get some of the veterans talking about stuff and having newbies interacting too. It is immensely enjoyable when that happens. Thanks again.....your moderator ....
