TERMS OF USE

including Courtesy... and other expectations

Sharing content

If you want to post pictures and images, even videos, we’d love to see them, but preferably your own!

When it comes to sharing downloaded material, please be aware of copyright limitations. Copyright laws apply to individuals and to companies, and if you share their downloaded material without permission, you are probably breaking the law. Even when you acknowledge your source. Rather give links or share from their profile on social media. 

​

​Courtesy applies to the web site, just as it does in real life. 

We thrive on opinions and anecdotes, and love to hear from you. But please follow some basic rules about courtesy:

​

•             Basic politeness rules! Every time.  That includes no name calling or abusive language

•             Be culturally sensitive – we live in a wonderfully diverse world, and are the richer for it

•             Share authoritative links – let’s get serious about informing each other and do it right

•             Beginners are people too

 

Please report abuse to us:

We reserve the right to remove any offensive comments without informing the sender, and the right to block any visitor who goes beyond what we believe to be the rules of common courtesy and ethical standards. We retain the right to have the final say on what those standards are.
