Gah! A user read the posting guidelines. Crap.
We weren't really expecting that. Instead we assume no one reads them, then point to them when someone screws up and say "you should have read this". Reading it without having made a mistake throws our entire system off. Google is your frenemy. Caveat Emptor - Latin for tough titty I tend to interpret things in the way that's most hilarious to me |

People who read posting guidelines should be banned.

I went through the guidelines with a fine-tooth comb. The last thing I wanted to do in any of my posts was to annoy the mods and admins. Well, that and I don't want to embarrass myself.

Whoops! Mea culpa. I'd swear I fixed that... maybe I forgot to merge over the changes. Anyway, I'll take care of it when I get home in an hour or so.
Thanks for the sharp eyes and for *gasp* actually reading the posting guidelines! The quality of this board depends on the quality of the posts. The only way to guarantee thoughtful, informative discussion is to write thoughtful, informative posts. AppleNova is not a real-time chat forum. You have time to compose messages and edit them before and after posting. |

Oh, btw, the mods/admins here are thinking of having a new rule: ...that 16 yr. olds are inherently-defective members of the species, and therefore should be banned from responsible messageboards for a year. A similar rule, but applicable to 17 yr. olds, will undoubtedly go into effect in, oh, about 11 months. |

Quag, thank you for being one year older than I am, thus sparing fifteen-year-olds the Wrath of Carol™.

But I wouldn't so much describe it as a fine-toothed comb as a large garden implement... more of a cursory overview of the rows one might hoe... and the ho's one shouldn't. |

Secret AppleNova adminstration to-do list
1. Create Apple-related forum community; entice thousands to join free of charge 2. Create important-looking Posting Guidelines riddled with errors, contradictions, & fallacies; refer members to them frequently in hopes that the guidelines' complexity will deter methodical scrutiny 3. ???????? 4. PROFIT! You ask me for a hamburger. |

Haha, well most of my free time is in fact spent on forums, which is basically an exercise in written language; you could say I get plenty of practice.

Well, there are two factors here: the excellence of your written language, *and* the intelligence behind that excellence. In case you weren't aware of the fact, bright females find both highly appealing. Omg! I have 2,000 + 666 posts. |
