1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.
2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.
3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.
4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.
Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.
Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.

I have the perfect answer to all of those questions. It consists of 7 letters and one empty space. The portion before the space consists of 4 letters, and the one after the space consists of 3. The answer is, more often than not, written in capital letters to emphasize its meaning; it being a symbol of the modern world. It starts with an F and ends with two Fs and those philosophers can wonder have I really chosen it based on my free will.
