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.
When Carter was campaigning for Governor here in GA in 1970 he was blocking the sidewalk outside the local Kroger's grocery store. When my mom came out of the store with me in tow (I was 9 at the time) she was confronted by Carter who said "I hope you're going to vote for me". My mom looked him up and down and said, "I don't think so".

I'm still very proud.
