1) The sole purpose of this thread is to allow me, BillBlueEyes, to make post number 500. We work cooperatively on this - even to the point of acting like it was a competition - just for sport, LOL - but it's just a way to make me feel better. I like even numbers. So we all work to make me feel good posting number 500.

2) We use the Queen's English at all times. We are a rather formal group. Kindly mind your P's and Q's.

3) No foul language is permitted. This is, of course, understood with Rule # 2, but it's restated just as a reminder.

4) We are all equals here.

5) Except that da Operator is more equal than the rest of us, and is to be referred to as Her Royal Majesty. Do not incur her ire; she can be dangerous when pissed for she is licensed by the Government of the United States to blow up that which pisses her off. I kid you not. (Note that she'll occasionally appear and try to change her title; not to worry she doesn't tend to remember what she asks you to call her so anything will do.)
