Thank you for wanting to be a part of BoomerangTalk. Please take the time to
read and follow these simple guidelines - they should help us to all have a more
enjoyable experience on this forum.

» Be POSITIVE when you post to this forum. When you write a message, re-read
it to yourself, and/or have someone else read it if you think ANYONE may become
angry after reading your message. You may think you have a good case, or think
you have worded your message clearly, but writing and talking are two completely
different forms of communication.

» If a post makes you angry, don't reply to it! Send your moderator(s) a
message about it and if action is necessary we will take it. Let us be the "bad
guys" so your reputation is not called into question. Sometimes people
understand things in a different light. You or they may change their opinion
over time. Words are hard to take back once they are posted.

» Please remember to check the subject line of your message. While some of us
read every message on the board, others may want to know what the message is
really about before reading it. If the thread subject changes, the subject line
should change, too.

» Take some time to clean-up replies. There are people who get Daily Digests
of this forum. Replies which have included extensive previous messages make it
very difficult for the Digest reader to follow the message. They get several
copies and it becomes tedious for them to wade through all the multiple copies.

» This is not a USBA forum. If you want to recommend changes to the USBA,
please join USBA_info and post your suggestions there. If they fall on deaf
ears at that forum, nothing said here will make a difference there, either.

» If you have a beef with someone, please contact them directly before
informing the forum about your disagreement. Sometimes we want to "set the
record straight" if someone is being a knucklehead. If you have a problem with
another member, please contact one of the moderators and we will try to resolve
the issue.
