WARNING TO ALL

Starting ten minutes from the timestamp on this entry, I will begin strictly and harshly enforcing the following rule:

Comments to any article MUST contain some relevance to the topic.  If the relevance is not obvious, you MUST explain how the comment is relevant.  Any violation of this rule will result in the immediate removal of your ability to post comments to this site.  Relevance must be obvious, explained in full, and all decisions will be the sole domain of the owners and contributors to this website.  You are here at invitation.  If you insist on dragging every discussion down into the same 4 arguments, your invitation will be revoked.

WE HAVE A FORUM FOR DISCUSSIONS.  There is a link to the forum in each and every post.  You can start your own topics there.  You can find topics that fit your need to rant about the same four things repeatedly.  We will NOT tolerate it any more on the main body of the site.

Update from JimK

I have created a new member category for people who decide to ignore this rule.  If you violate this rule, you will be allowed to read, but not comment.  You are welcome to try to talk your way back into full member, but the odds are against you.  And I never, ever respond positively to threats or tantrums, so if you want your comment privileges reinstated after losing them, you may want to remember that.

If you try to re-register and are discovered, you, your email aliases, your nicknames and your IP block will be banned from the site.  If the problem persists, I will disallow registration with Yahoo, Hotmail and any other free email service I can think of.  It’s easy and takes only a few seconds of my time.  It takes more time to talk about it than it does to actually do it.  If the problem still persists, I will stop allowing new members to register altogether until we clean out the problem.

My advice would be to make an effort to stay on topic.
