• Anything ‘published’ on the web is viewed as intellectual property and, regardless of whether it displays a copyright symbol or not, is therefore copyrighted by the originator. The only exception to this is if there is a “free and unrestricted reuse” statement associated with the work.

    In order to protect our members and TFL from possible litigation, all members must abide by the following new rules:

    1. Copying and pasting entire articles from another site to TFL is strictly prohibited. The same applies to articles from print or other media, and to posting photographs taken of copyrighted pages or other media.

    2. Copyright law provides for “fair use” of portions of a copyrighted work. You can copy no more than a SINGLE paragraph from the article to your post (3 or 4 sentences at most).

    3. You must provide a link to the article along with the name of website. For example: ww.xxx.yyy/zzz (The Lower Thumbsuck Daily News).

    4. You must provide, in your own words, a brief summary of the article AND your reasons for believing it will be of interest to TFL members. Failure to do so may result in the thread being closed or your post being deleted as a “cut and paste drive by.”

    5. Photographs and other images are also copyrighted. "Hotlinking" of images (so that it appears in your message) from other sites is also prohibited unless you own rights to the image. If you wish to share an image, provide a clickable link to it.

    Posts that do not follow these new guidelines will be altered or deleted by staff. Members who continue to violate this policy may lose their posting privileges at TFL.

    Thank you for your cooperation and your participation in TFL, the leading online forum for firearms enthusiasts.

Encourage clearer 'subject' headings!

You might want to suggest that posters use clearer subject headings. I don't know about anyone else, but when I see something like 'I have a problem' or 'a very interesting day' I can't pass by quickly enough. I'm not going to waste my time finding out what the issue is, let alone answering it...

And file the appropriate New Thread Application to the propper forum admin, with duplicates to...

Sorry, Robert... I disagree. No Neck Ties required.

I agree with Robert. If subject titles pertained to the subject matter, searching could be a joy. We'd only have to search titles instead of entire threads.

Would be nice Robert, but considering the our regional venacular, educational level, articulation skills, writing style or what we had for lunch (or more importantly, if what we drank is still in us), that's a pretty tough thing to police. Bear with us please.

Thank you, Gary! Nicely said. It's good to associate with a Gentleman!

And as for you, Mr. "Let's-you-and-him-fight" George, I said *senior*. At my age only a few are older but, due to my (ahem!) *varied* background I seem to be a newbie everywhere I go!

And by the way, George! I definitely disagree with you when you say rifle shooters are all pansies!

(Heh, heh, heh! That'll fix 'im! ;))
 
To paraphrase my dad on several occasions:

All right you three! If I have to stop this bulletin board and come back there, you're all going to be in deep kimchee!
 
Yeah right! Gary, you stop staring at Dennis and he'll stop calling you names. Right Dennis? Right Dennis? And George you stop egging them on and all three of you stop pumping your fists at the truck drivers! They scare the heck out of your mom everytime they blow their horn.
 
Guys,

I’m laughing so hard I hardly can type!

Playing along on this thread, I’m laughing to myself (out loud) when my
Mother comes in and asks, “What on earth has you laughing so much?”

Den: This thread, Mom. Here, let me read it to you.
(Dennis reads the thread to his Mother - complete with “voices”!)

Mom: And that’s what you do in here all day?

Den: No, I...

Mom: I thought you were trying to fight all these gun control people!

Den: Mom, what I was trying to say...

Mom: You sound like a bunch of little children!

Dennis loses it, can't reply!
Mom starts to really complain!
Dennis becomes really hysterical!
Mom become really angry and stomps out....

Dang, guys! I can’t stop laughing every time I see her look at me!
(She looked at me FIRST! BWAAAHAAAHAAA!!!)

I gotta quit this.... :D :D :D ! My stomach hurts.

(And in my case, that could be declared a tri-state disaster area! ;))
 
From a sensible question this has rapidly degenerated into an "internal matter" which requires intervention at the Administrator Level. George and Dennis, I think we're all going to get an email from Rich pretty soon.
 
Why yes. Of course, Gary. A little decorum...

Robert,

*I* like your idea but Gary and George won't buy it because THEY think our members are too ignorant and undisciplined to do it.

Merry Christmas.
