The board guidelines are simple:

1.) Be civil to other members

2.) Try to keep on topic

3.) Have a sense of humor

4.) Off topic threads are OK, but avoid making a habit of it. Make sure you note that any such threads are "Off Topic" or "O/T".

5.) Make sure that Little Nipper is always well stocked with biscuit or he may piddle on your Edison, Columbia or off-brand Phonographs.

6.) Have a sense of humor.

7.) Needling people is permitted as long as you use a fibre needle or a Victor Soft-tone. Needling people with an Edison Diamond Disc stylus is not needling but rather stylussing. That is permitted to within the bounds of good taste. ;)
