86 the "About Me" in the Member Profile. and replace it with their Member Introduction. Encourage good Introductions. If someone asks a question, and they have given no useful information about there skill-set, age, experience.....just answer: "Assuming you are an 11 year old sissy, my advise is".......and when they get indignant, say do a good introduction.

This is my first post. My name is Ken. I am an 11 year old sissy without any wilderness experience. Tomorrow, I am going to travel to the north pole from New Jersey via Brazil (lost my map) on a quest to find Rudolph. I will only take the clothes on my back and a knife with me. I am sure I will survive the journey, because I have been lurking here for 3 days and have become an expert. Just one question. What type of knife should I take? Will this one work? http://www.germes-online.com/direct/...tic_Knives.jpg

Thanks for the advice, Mr. Pal. I'll try to check in when I arrive in Mombassa.

If my name, where I live & grew up and what I have mentioned about the occupation I retired from ain't enough, and I did "work" for Uncle Sam ain't enough with the "work" off limits I think what I have learned could help someone. That's enough. Except I still learn from you folks.

Coot - I've check the "Official Telephone Man's Guide to Proper References" and it says that neither of us are permitted to use our name and the word "work" in the same sentence. I just broke out in goose bumps typing it.

Isn't work the other four letter word you don't wanna get all over you?

Well...I must not know because my boss was always asking me if I understood what the word "work" meant. I generally explained that it was a short pause between breaks but for some reason that was never the right explanation. So I must not know.

I had a momentary lapse of memory. I read it again and I am surprised it wasn't edited or the whole post deleted. I apologize for the four letter word. I only heard my boss say it and ignored it naturally. I guess I spent too many years in manholes sniffing gas. I did truly humiliate myself.
