A Few Simple Rules to Start With
A few simple rules for those who choose to join this network. Please follow these rules and we will all get along. Violate them and I will have to remove you from the group (usually, you will get one warning, but don't count on it).

1) NO Flames - do not use this group to trash another Notary, another member of this group, or another network on the ning service. If you have a problem with any of those, take it up with them. We are here to grow our businesses, to vent about trials and tribulations, and to offer support and help to one another.

2) NO Spam -- unsolicited commercial email is NOT cool. Don't do it. If you post spam, I will ban you from the site AND remove your spam from the site -- so, don't do it!

3) Be nice. If you think someone is doing something wrong, send them a private message. If that does not resolve the matter, please let ME know. Please do NOT attack them on this network (see #1 above).

4) If you don't know or if you are bored with answering this question yet again, don't answer the question. Momma used to say, "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything." I will amend that to "if you don't have anything useful and productive and helpful to say, don't say anything."

5) Please try to keep posts here on topic. Please try not to start new topics when you are really just replying to someone else's post. In short, please do not place stumbling blocks in the way of those who want to keep up with what is going on.

6) Please let me know (timgatewood@netscape.net) of any problems you encounter on this Network. I will help you if it falls within my power to do so.

That's about all for now.
