Please adhere to the following rules to prevent banishment to Siberia (no offense to our Siberian visitors):

  • Do not use the blog to promote yourself, as your surrogate blog, or as an advertisement. I am sure you are interesting and have some really nice things to say, but you can get your own blog.

  • Keep your comments short. Like when your comments are longer than the blog, that is too long.
  • Read All 6 Rules
