The rules of the game

1) Everyone is welcome, as long as they follow the other rules.

2) Every idea is welcome, as long as it is expressed with respect for all.

3) Please stick to the topic of the post. If you have a different idea, propose it and I will start another post. Promised

4) Anonymous comments are accepted, as long as you play by the rules. But why not identify yourself?

5) Humour is great, sarcasm less so, especially when it is not clear. Keep it for Facebook.

6) Sharing ideas is great, expecting to change someone else's ideas through your comments here is NOT. In particular, don't expect and don't attempt any proselytizing.
