Some more do's and don'ts on the board

I was going to add one, but I decided that sometimes it's better to exercise restraint. (That's a do, I suppose.)

Regards,

I'd just like to point out that it has been quite some time since I've witnessed a metaphor being extended so adroitly!
Splendidly done!

And here I had skimmed over the extended metaphor until I saw your quote of it. Well done indeed!

Another board I post on has boiled down advice to a simple statement: "think twice, post once".

Following that rule, I've run into few problems...

A gentle thread for polite people. Well intentioned and well said, all.

Sounds like my dad- Measure once, curse twice! Or something like that.

That's always been one of my biggest problems- the exercise of restraint. It is actually a problem that I take no small measure of pride in, I might add.

So in reality... I suppose I have exorcised my restraint.
