Once again I will remind everyone that even in The Lounge everyone is expected to adhere to the bounds of civil discourse.
  • personal remarks or ascribing thoughts to another person is out if bounds.
  • Telling others about themselves is never an acceptable practice.
  • Even if not ascribed to an individual by name statements like "for folks who have tunnel vision" does nothing to further the conversation and indirectly insults some of the readers.
  • Remember what is obvious to you is not necessarily obvious to others.
  • claim your opinions as your own or document the source of your opinion.
  • Most important of all keep it civil.


If we knew what it was we were doing, it wouldn't be called research, would it?
