Seems to be an abnormally high percentage of Non-Americans responding to this thread. Could all the 'Murricans be watching football and eating turkey?
Oh yeah, Larry, I provided a few, well, we shouldn't call them "rules", but rather gentle guidelines, regarding what not to discuss here. I forgot a very important one, one that seeing Wendy post brings to mind:
IF WE INSIST ON USING THE WORD "SUCK", IT MUST BE IN THE SENSE OF WHAT WE DO WITH A STRAW OR SIMILAR IMPLEMENT. We must never use "suck" as a synonym of "bad". We must never say that a thing "sucks", unless we actually mean that it ingests a substance using a semi-vacuum to effect the movement of said substance. There are many synonyms of "bad" that one can use other than "suck", so we are asking you to use your imagination in that regard.
If you fail to adhere to the above suggestion at all times on this list, you will incur the Wrath of Wendy. You've been warned.
cheers, frank

Oh, go on then. You've talked me into it.
I'm a Brit, currently living in Ottawa, Canada. I'm an electronics engineer, currently doing some contract work for anyone who cares to pay me. I was made redundant from my permanent job in April. I then decided to blow some of my redundancy money going digital and set up a small venture covering dog agility trials and any other commissions people cared to pay me for ;-)
No pictures of me, but some of my kids (human, not goats) to be found at http://www.muddypawz.net/portrait.html Click on the dog picture (of course!)
