I, for one, am here because of the lack of enforceable rules. I use my sinuses to decide whether to scroll down and ignore or write a caustic reply: if my sinuses hurt, the offender is likely to incur a sarcastic remark. If my sinuses are in working order, I'll scroll. On the other hand, any newcomer would do wisely to just lurk for a while, before posting. My occasional tantrums are not a big secret around here and I am by no means the only one with a temper. Potential newcomers should accept the rules and behave accordingly or send me some Claritine. Others can probably be bribed just as easy.
