Yeah, yeah... formalities- we all hate 'em, but they've got to be posted nonetheless... 
- Please, no blatant or excessive "creative" profanity. The English language is quite full of wonderful alternative words.
- Play nice. Personal attacks towards any other Casa member will not be tolerated.First warning via PM. Second warning publicly. Anyone found repeatedly crapping in my sandbox will be ejected. And make no mistake: my privacy policy covers members here as well. Even if the individual being treated poorly doesn't take appropriate measures, I reserve full right to act on that person's behalf, with or without their knowledge or consent. Don't even think about testing this condition. It is non-negotiable. www.geocities.com/fugitive247/privacy.html
- Talk nice. Hateful or defamatory speech towards specific religious, ethnic, racial, lifestyle, political, national, or other groups just ain't cool, ya know? About the only notable exceptions might be public figures, but watch what you say about the Bush Dynasty. Their operatives are everywhere. Otherwise, politicians, lawyers, celebs, Bill Gates... now those characters are fair game. ;D But be forewarned - flamebait is highly discouraged. Those who have not yet mastered the fine art of playing "Devil's Advocate" vs. "Accidental Troll" had best simply take notes for a while.
- Got questions? Ask! Your inquiry could lead to an incredible discussion thread. Enough similar topics will develop into new sections. Sky's the limit!
- Bring the occasional offering to share with the group. Coffee and chocolate are always welcome. So are nachos, popcorn, spring rolls, baklava, cookies, Chex Mix, dim sum...
- Most of all, have fun!
