Ooops, I'm guilty! Sorry! plus a suggestion for the board:Re: RULES FOR THE FORUM 'COPIED FROM PCO PAVILLION RULES'

Thanks Michelle,
I guess I needed to read this. I now see the importance of the jokes
rule. I won't post them anymore. This was a good refresher on the
boundries here. I would like to suggest that the ones who *slam*
others, those who do not adhere to the *supportive format*, be given a
warning, then "loss of posting privileges". That may help with the tone
of the board as of late. :)Monica
