After reading Hal's initial message and the ensuing postings over the past couple days, I have come to the conclusion that I fail to see what the problem is with a simple set of directional guidelines. We all know, or should know, the basics; Hal has, in my mind anyway, reinforced those guidelines and suggested some new ways to help the Forum grow.
Pax vobiscum...
