Posting Guidelines

On a busy board such as the letterboxing board, it's nearly impossible to read every post, but there are things one can do to help make navigating those bewildering number of posts into something efficient and manageable. My first attempt at a set of guidelines, set in the context of a "boot camp", seemed to offend many members, so I also brought in Miss Janet who's a little nicer and smells a lot better. The content is exactly the same, read whichever suits your fancy.

Miss Janet: Hello, I'm Miss Janet. There are no real rules or guidelines for posting, but there is a correct etiquette to posting, and that's all it is, etiquette. It's like opening the door for a lady--a polite thing to do. Computers and talk lists are all so new, however, not everyone has yet learned the proper posting etiquette like the older traditions. I'll help bring you up to speed so you'll be able to dazzle everyone!

General Hardass: My name is General Hardass to you, and if you want the cold, hard truth about writing an intelligent post, join my class. I expect you all to have high self-esteems so when I kick your ass into place you aren't going to go home crying to mama. If you want to know what people are really thinking when they read one of your dumbass posts, I'll tell you. And I'll tell you how to stop writing dumbass posts.
