    Cool Once again for the newbies!

    Every so often I post something like this as a caveat for noobs who come on here and maybe don't understand or know what's expected of them; so here ya go:

    1.) Follow the introduction template for the best responses; the more we know about you the better we can answer any questions you may have. It was designed by a member who's also a lawyer and helps him break the habit of running after ambulances.

    2.) Unless you want an encyclopedia of knowledge on just about every knife known to mankind don't ask "What's the best survival knife?"

    3.) Also don't ask about free land to live on as there is no such animal. In the same vein don't ask about running off into the woods to live like some old hermit, as we don't have that information either.

    4.) Don't post your survival business name in the body of your post as that's a violation of forum rules and nobody probably cares anyway. That's like "preaching to the choir."

    5.) Don't ask what a "hong" is or we'll have to show you!(via PM)

    6.) Don't brag about the size of your knife, or anything else you might have. Also we're not interested in barroom fights you might have been involved in or tires you might have slashed.

    7.) Don't sing The Green Anaconda Song! Also don't post on how to kill one by letting it swallow you.

    8.) Do send Hunter Ruth Hawke's phone number if you happen to have it. I'd love to see an old man cry!

    Well that's if for now. If any of the other older members would like to add anything be my guest....

    Hello, I'm Lamewolf from the foothill region of the Appellation mountains and my survival knife is the biggest and best survival knife in the world. I've used it to cut up hongs and slash tires off semi trucks after getting into the biggest baddest bar fight you ever seen in yer entire life. And once I used it to chop up a green anaconda while Ruth Hawke cooked it over an open fire I made from rubbing 2 sticks together while living on my free land I squatted in the Alaskan outback !

    I know, I know, I'm getting 30 days in the electric chair for this !
