Hi everyone --

First -- just a note to say that any further comments on puberty points 
such as when young girls develop breasts should go to OT-Chatter!!

Now also seems a nice time to let you know that we've revised our 
homepage to include a short, simple list of "10 Commandments" of 
posting.  Here they are:

1.   Thou shalt include a clear & specific subject line
2.   Thou shalt edit any quoted text down to the minimum thou needest
3.   Thou shalt read thine own message thrice before sending it
4.   Thou shalt ponder how thy recipients might react to thy message
5.   Thou shalt check thy spelling and thy grammar
6.   Thou shalt not curse, flame, spam or use ALL CAPS
7.   Thou shalt not make off-topic (OT) posts except to OT-Chatter
8.   Thou shalt not post any questions to this group without first 
checking the VFAQ
9.   Thou shalt not make multiple one-liner posts but shalt endeavor to 
combine shorter posts into one post
10.   When in doubt, thou shalt save thine own message overnight and 
re-read it in the light of dawn

Golden Rule of Email: That which thou findest hateful to receive, 
sendest thou not unto others.

Please follow these rules, read the Netiquette & VFAQ files, and email 
your List Elf or the Moderators if you have any questions.

Thanks,

Penny
on behalf of the Magical Moderator Team
