A reminder on the rules for new members

Okay, my idea.
Hey, guys! I just wanted to remind everyone that we do have forum rules which everyone must read-and-heed if they plan to post. They can be read here:

http://thetriopsforum.com/index.php?showtopic=5

Please especially note the last rule: It's important to use decent English! If we take a couple extra moments to do things like add punctuation and capitalize sentences, it makes posts easier to read. When people have to work harder to read posts, that's a problem! No, it's not school, but it IS a place of written communication and information sharing. It makes the forum a more pleasant place for everyone when information is easily accessible and clear. :)

We don't expect you to agonize over every word or be perfect - just taking a moment to re-read your post or taking the time to capitalize and use commas and periods is plenty!

Also, there are some browsers that have built-in spellcheck! Woohoo! Firefox and Google Chrome have them, and I'm sure there are others as well.

Remember, grammar saves lives!

Then you will find your doubts and your self melt away." --Gandhi

Couldn't agree more! Although I do profess to being a bit of a grammar nazi.
