    36. Be humble in all of your postings; unless you're truly an expert in the area being discussed, then...well, then still be humble.

    37. Remember that although it's just a hobby for you, it may be the other guy's livelihood. And remember although it may be your livelihood, it may be the other guy's hobby.

    38. Do not criticize someone's opinion on GTG threads.
    Saying things like, "63 image, you must be crazy!! Sell me all of your 63's that look like that!!", is not acceptable.

    Your, you're and yore. There, their, they're. A deel is a deal is a dill.
    Know when you're theirs , or they're there at the same time as you with respect, and your yore will not change, no ?
    And try not to let language get in the way of understanding those who care more or less about you and yours. As coins go, that is.

    ...I did, but then I saw the Stars & Bars in your avatar and figured you just drank a little too much moonshine before posting...so out of respect, I didn't try and correct you...but only because I drank a little more 'shine than you probably did and I couldn't make up my mind whether or not that would have or had not been rude if I would have image

    ...but since you mentioned it...so did I image

    regarding his personal transgressions just so we know that the poster isn't pro-pedophelia, because
