An excellent beginning Chuck. Might I add a few?
6. Humorous posts will not hurt you.
7. Your God and my God may not like each other, but since neither of them
actually post messages themselves we can just lighten up when quoting
them.
8. The light in your eyes brightens when reading the same idea that gives
me a dull headache. Beating me on the head with it will inflame
something, but it will not be my interest. Let everyone be interested in
the things they want to be interested in.
9. Simple messages are meaningful when 2000 people are writing them.
