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.

ReplyDeleteDrat, you beat me to it! ;-)
Seriously, the last thing I want a litter bin or elevator to do is talk to me. I'd far rather they just do their jobs quietly and let me get on with thinking about what I'm trying to do.
Plus, I've seen entirely too many "over-imbibers" (We used to call them "winos") holding animated conversations with trees, fire hydrants, and litter bins already. It would be ten times worse if the inanimate objects were holding up their end of the conversation.

Ten times worse, maybe. But at least a hundred times as awesome! I'd consider the amusement to be had from watching partial repayment for the confusion of trying to decide whether someone shouting at the air is enjoying a Bluetooth cell phone conversation with his friend, or simply off his lithium. A lot of the time, the way the guy's dressed provides little help.
