I follow rules once I know what they are.

What about community preferences and guidelines? Must there be a written rule?

There isn't a rule about wearing ass-dragging pants but decent folks know it's trashy.

Perhaps we have finally found sommething on which I can wholeheartedy and enthusiastically agree with you!

As a police chief around here told me, the only good thing about that kind of pants is that it’s easier to catch people wearing them when they try to run away.

Further, you’ll get no disagreement from me on the importance of following the spirit of the law, not just the letter.

To all: Can we please drop this? It’s gotten to the point that I’m keeping a Free Republic web window open and clicking refresh regularly to see what is being said on this subject. That would be fine if this discussion were about something important, but this discussion is not helping anybody here and we all have better things to do.

I agreed **LONG** ago, once I got sent the weblinks from the Free Republic owner and moderators, that if Free Republic’s rule is to post full-text articles rather than excerpts with weblinks, I would follow that rule. Posting full-text articles wouldn’t even be permitted on most comparable message boards with which I am familiar, let alone required, but I said long ago that if that’s what the rules say, then the rules will be followed.

For some reason saying that over and over and over again isn’t getting through.
