Thou shalt be nice.

I will as long as the other person is. I'm not too good at turning the other cheek.

Should it be remotely possible to construe a message as a joke then thou shalt accept it as a joke.

That's excellent advice. So how come nobody follows it when I try to be funny?

Thou shalt not chide beginners for requesting the lyrics of Kumbaya.

Remember John Wayne in McClintock? "I should punch you right in the nose. But I won't....I won't...the hell I won't!"

Thou shouldst remember that Bill D, Kendall and Spaw are not really the old farts that they appear to be.

Wait a minute. Isn't Kendall chronologically older than I am? That makes him an old fart as a matter of definition!

Thou shalt be 'thou' and not pretend that thou are not.

Run that by me again?

Thou shalt remember that the word 'folk' meaneth different things to different folk.

No. It means music that I like. The others are all wrong.

Thou shalt pun.

After about 55 years of punning...well, make that 56...I'm almost 59...I should stop now?

Thou shalt post lyrics.

After making sure that they're not in the DT already, and you aren't committing any copyright violation that will actually upset anybody other than bloated corporate suits.

Thou shouldst take a careful look at the 'Clear Entries' button before posting your message.

I think that's what I was saying with my alliterative thing about posting while pissed, up there somewhere.

Thou shalt have fun.

Have so far. If it stops being fun, I'll leave (loud cheers!)

Peter.
