Doc's "Advice For A Tubenet Newbie"

[djwesp]

21.

"If you aren't old enough to drink, you aren't old enough to post, unless asking questions." This is assuming you already used the search function to see if your question has been answered previously. Only fitting that rule #21 is the 21 rule.

I think it's better to think of it this way:

Most countries I have been in do not grant full adulthood to anyone until they are at least 21. Just because you drink at 18 doesn't mean you can do everything. Here in Vietnam, men are not allowed to marry until they are 22!!! But they can still drink at 18.

Actually, in the United States there are still many things you can't do at 21. Try to rent a car.

so do they start drinking at 18 in preparation for marriage at 22???????

Thanks for bumping this. I could not remember the post where "13" became a thing.

Hmm... Methinks much of this has been forgotten, depite its relevance.

People who need advice the most are the least likely to take advice.

I wish Doc's list, as added to sequentially throughout this thread, were a sticky on EVERY bulletin board/forum/chat group/blog, etc.

I know I have tripped over each and every one of these pointers over time.

Thanks, Doc!

#12. Rick Denney really is the Tubenet Genius.

Doc

And it's a damn shame we don't see him any more. Wah.

[The Big Ben]

Not banned at all, he just doesn't pop in very often. He was here within the last 90 days though.

I run into Rick in another forum. Next time I read him, I'll remind him to drop by.

[MaryAnn]

What forum? I'd go there just to read his commentary. One smart dude.

[MaryAnn]

Those are his posts on THIS forum.

Rick “Rumers about my being banned from the forum are premature” Denney??

THAT Rick Denney??

Nope. At least, to the best of my recollection, his spelling was impeccable.

[Three Valves]

Oh, ah, that’s the UK spelling.

Never saw this thread back in the good 'ol days.

Cool thread.
