Why this board is great! :)
I was the VERY FIRST registered member (not counting the two Admins who started the board) of a forum; back in Feb of 2000. I was a moderator, then eventual Admin.
Last week I got a PM from a well-meaning but over-zealous Moderator about my signature:
Many Liberals Won't Stand For Victory In Iraq
Seems it violated a fictional (never stated ANYWHERE on the board) rule against "political signatures".
I replied to the moderator (who is a friend, btw) "I'm not one to break rules - here are the signature rules I followed"
Then I listed the rules.
BUT because he's my friend, I didn't make a stink. I changed my sig to this - stolen from here, by permission:

Today, I logged in.
My signature had changed to:

So - Why this board is great? We will not change your sig!! (Unless we're just messing with you, but even then it's only to change Jim's sig into something Homosexuality-related. )
“… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.
