Hello everyone!

Greetings all! I believe I should introduce myself, and ask a few questions so I can get the jist (spelling) of what goes on here.

Since I dont want to piss anyone off like a few people that I have about, I need to ask if there is anything I should avoid doing so ass not to anger some of the more important people running this show. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

(that looks pretty neat)

It's easy. This site is intended for giving maccourses.

Hey, thanks for dropping by! This is a great place to learn about OSX.

The only real rule around here is to just keep the tone mellow...
Here are some other guidelines to kinda follow...

1.flame wars are not tolerated around here. Swearing and crude language are generally frowned upon, but not rally censored officially.

2.M$ isand AOL are always targets for bashing, so if you are a big Microsoft or AOL fan, you might want to keep that quiet.

Right, Ed?

3.If your problem seems like something that has probably occurred to someone else (i.e. network with a Windows computer, enable some server side technology) please use the search function to find your answer first.... more likely than not it has been answered already.

Keep coming back and always.... always! remember that Herve is crazy.

What... "maccourses"? Was ist dass?

Why thank you rinse. I am guessing that there is one thread, where I have already visited, where anyone can do or say anything they want. I am, of course, talking about the "may I cus" thread.

and no need for you to worry about the M$ or AOL thing. I have very strong opposing feelings about both those companies. I hate them.

welcome ltm. good to have another anti m$ and aol person on board.
(rinse i don't jump on every opportunity to bash them - just the ones that seem to stress that they are gods to be obeyed

)
rinse's rules are pretty much it. Just don't let yourself get all worked up in the cus thread and then have it spill out to the rest of the site. which is basically what the num nuts pair did. as for what happened to them - see the thread ' to nummi and nuts' in this forum.

herve is herve. try your best to understand he is belgiun and uses speech recognition software to post. what he is trying to say above is that this is a help site for the most part. there is lot to be learned from reading thru old posts and keeping up with new issues as they arise.

if you want to hang out and get to know people better then this is the forum for it. just don't call people names and you should be ok. else where it is more business but we still chat some from time to time in the midst of solving problems or discussing who has the biggest browser. basically its a nice mellow site with lots of mac wizs and linux linguists who between them can solve most common problems with osx. good bunch to hang around i think.

LOL
Hey Lessthanmighty! WO kommst du her??? Aus Deutschland???
Nur mal so...swearing mögen manche Leute hier nicht. Wenn du jemanden Beleidigen willst geh in das cus thread. Eins noch... Herve is n bischen verrückt aber egal. Wenn du ihn nicht magst ignorier ihn. Mach aber nicht so n scheiß wie etwa deez_nuts. Der is nämlich dumm und beleidigt Herve.

HAVE FUN!!!!!!!

PS.: Herve for president!

Mad props to Ed. That helps.

Alexandert... whoa there fella. Nein, Ich kommt aus USA. If thats even how you speak it correctly. I have taken a few German classes, which I didnt really like. I use some german in my regular speech, just because I, for some reason, like it. Whatever you just said, I will have to spend sometime translating. I cant remember any of those big words.
