UPIT1.com welcomes your participation in our Discussion
Forums. We ask that you Post with respect for all members. This is a community.
So, when you post, we encourage you to tell your fellow community members a
little about who you are - not just an e-mail address, but a bit of a bio. It
enriches the discussion to know who's "behind the post." In order to keep these
forums enjoyable and interesting for all of our users, we ask simply that you
follow these minimal rules. By participating in the Discussion Forums, you are
consenting to these rules. Violators may be warned, suspended from posting,
or barred from the forums or chats, at the sole discretion of the UPIT1.com staff.

will not be tolerated. Challenge others' points of view and opinions, but do
so respectfully and thoughtfully. Any member who threatens anyone on the forum,
via PM, or Email, will be banned immediately without notice.

with the subject and purpose of the conversation thread. Deliberate disruption
-- such as consistent off-topic commentary -- will not be tolerated. UPIT1.com

community - let us or your fellow posters know if you feel things are getting
