I) Thou shalt have a succinct and relative title (unless of course thou doth not)

II) Thou shalt not creep the thread before the second post

III) Thou shalt refresh thy thread if it falleth off, for it causeth confusion if thou shouldst start a second

IV) Thou shalt start a second portion if thy thread creepeth past 100 posts. If thou knowest not how, ask a friend.

V) Thou shalt post lyrics of songs mentioned not in the Digital Tradition or suffer the wrath.

VI) Wherever possible thou shalt post a midi or a link to a midi or someplace where one can find the tune of lyrics thou shalt post to prevent thy fellow mudcatters of dying of inexhautable curiosity.

VII) Thou shalt feel free to ask advice of thy fellow mudcatters for they are generous of spirit and knowledge and are a bunch of really nice people except when we art not.

VIII) Thou shalt not take offense if thy thread creepeth for verily I say unto you, thread creep hath uncovered wonders.

IX) Thou shalt try to respect those with other opinions, for diversity is a wellspring of information.

X) thou shalt have fun, and enjoy life, and that which Max Susan and Dick hath wrought, for we are blessed by the MudCat and the DT.
