Is there a SECRET set of rules that isn't publicized?
I found these rules under the link; "Rules" near the top of the page.
I also found this FAQ under the link; "FAQ".
The first link in THAT list takes you to the page that I linked to in the first place.
So as near as I can figure out, those are ALL the rules.
I've read them carefully. SEVERAL times .
I think I understand them...
They aren't all that complex...
And IF I am reading them correctly, then it all comes down to this:
All posts, whether creating a new thread or responding to an existing one have to meet the following criteria:
Based on what I've written, do I seem to have a good understanding of what constitutes "proper posting"?
Have I added too much?
Have I left anything out?
Am I missing something crucial?
I'm just trying to do a reality check here.
I try hard to stay within the forum rules, and in order to do that I need to make sure that understand the rules PROPERLY.

All posts, whether creating a new thread or responding to an existing one have to meet the following criteria:
- New posts must be posted in the appropriate forum. If you pick the wrong forum, your post will get moved to the right one.
- Responses must be reasonably on topic. Some drift is a part of normal conversation, but responses that seem to be part of a completely different conversation are not appropriate.
- All posts must be rated either "G" or "PG". PG-13 might be acceptable depending on the circumstances, but "R" is out of the question.
- Posts cannot attack people. You can attack what they SAID, you can criticize their opinions, you can even tell them that their ideas are flawed, but you CANNOT attack the human being sitting at the other keyboard directly.
- Any of the criticism mentioned in #4 can't be "neener, neener, that's a dumb idea". Criticism has to have SOME kind of basis, SOME kind of logic. It has to based on something more than; "You have a lame screen-name and you probably smell bad, so you suck and your ideas do too."
