|It's a pleasure. Now the rules are:
|1. You don't have a silly name (oh dear, never mind). People with names like
|'John Bull', 'Hamish MacTavish', or 'Sunita O'Reilly' generally provide
|useful input. People with names like '.', '*', Mr Turd', 'Man U Fan',
|'Fartomatic', and 'Toyboy' are either disaffected employees of large and
|scarey companies who wish to impart secrets (rare) or irresponsible
|unemployable time-wasting sexually deviant wind-up merchants (common).
|2. You put OT if it isn't really about digital TV and TOT if it can't by any
|stretch of the imagination be said to be about digital TV.
|3. You try to post helpful comments.
|4. You tolerate fools gladly, unless they're rude as well as stupid.
|5. You only loose your temper and bawl someone out about once a month, but
|when it happens you must do it in style. No half measures.
|6. You don't take the piss out of people's poor English, unless they mention
|that they are a student, in which case they are fair game for a severe
|ragging. This is hard on engineering students but we don't care.
|7. You don't pass racist, homophobic, ageist or disability-related remarks
|because there's lot of one-legged elderly black queers on here and they
|don't like it.
|8. You don't top post, because to some people it has the same effect as
|telling the Woman's Institute lady on Little Britain that the cake was made
|by an Asian.
|9. Sexism is totally forbidden. We never pass snide comments about the
|ladies. Never. Not ever.
|10. We assume that those who drop in for a bit of help have total ignorance
|and infinite intelligence.
|11. If you get curry on the keyboard you clean it up yourself. Typos where
|four adjacent keys have gone down together are obvious curry induced faults
|and we can spot them a mile off. And don't use lager to clean the keyboard.
|It's a waste.
|12. If anyone annoys you just call them 'anally retentive'. No-one knows
|what it means but it sounds unpleasant.

How are you going to get all that into the revised Charter you are going to
RFD ;o)
