Being a newbie myself, I find this much more appealing. I'm grateful this is being considered, having read ESR's version as well. I'll also try to be very careful to follow these guidelines as I appreciate the time everyone here takes to help people like me. Thanks a bunch! On Thursday, June

+1 for Fabián's link. Not only is it better-tempered than ESR on the subject, it's a lot _shorter_. I like how it is split into 10 simple sections. Love points 4, 5 and 6! Not everyone on this list has English as a first language. Some newcomers may be confused or daunted by Eric's lengthy prose,
