When you start a new thread, it's best to give it a clear, descriptive name, even though it may seem dull at the time. Readers scanning down a list of topics need to be able to tell what's being discussed in them.

Hear, hear!

2) Be sure to read and/or search the forum to make sure the topic hasn't already been addressed (many times) before.

3) Return to the thread to acknowledge any response.

4) Try not to include masses of quoted material beyond the specific needs of your own post.

5) Polite participants read the backthread.

6) Reputation comments and private messages are the places to put "LOL" and "Me too!"

I think we need to get the Mods -- Maybe Perks?-- to make this a single post, and an FAQ sticky.
