Does P2 require any kind of registration for Guests who want to post? If not, I believe they should. When inviting guests into my home, I at least want to know their names and how to reach them. And know who they are if I don't want them back.
In order to "post" a new thread, you must be at least a Professional, paying member. You can "comment" as a Standard member or guest. Therefore, Relib is possible because of paying members. We invite non-paying members and guests to our "party" much like we invite guests into our homes. One of the reasons I, myself, became a paying member was so I could post here (among other things, but it was a big draw for me.) We have had quite a few wonderful comments from Standard members and Guests and I don't want to "diss" Standard members or Guests.
I don't know about you, but generally, when I invite someone into my home, I provide the food and libations. I only expect that they will act like friends and guests.
My rules when I invite you into my home:
1. Be kind and generous to my other guests and family members. Whether you like them or not. I would do the same for you.
2. Be kind and generous to me, your Host. I will do the same for you, whether I like you or not.
3. Don't insult my Friends or "My Famiglia". They were here long before you and have helped me in ways you can't even imagine. And they will help you, too, given the opportunity. And I will defend them against anything you have to "offer".
4. Please refer to numbers 1, 2 & 3. That about covers it for me.
Any other rules to contribute?
