Good points that you made, but you forgot the one cardinal rule:
The first one to calls another a 'nazi' loses!!!
Oh, and I think that the way the FR software displays the threads is far superior (Thanks John!) - I can't easily navigate any of their threads to see the latest posts with they way they nest them over at DU. {See, I was going to call it the DUmp, like I normally do, but I decided to be polite - 8) today at least } So, in the interest of continuing to be polite - here's another tip. Notice that I added both you and John Robinson to the 'Reply to' portion. It's only polite to 'ping' others when you mention them or one of their posts. When you include them in the 'reply to' box, they will get a notification that there are "New posts yo you" the next time they sign in.
