Fodor's Rules of Order

I have posted here on and off for a few years...just got what I wanted and didn't come back regularly..now, however it seems like I am addicted to the US forum...can't risk crossing over the others...too much time! I would like to ask about the rules...who decides what stays..and what goes? An interesting thread or two recently disappeared before I was able to send it to all of my good buds! LOL Do people really get banned from posting? How do GTG happen?

GTG's happen by anybody who would like to plan one. Some are bigger than others. A lot of posters have the personal emails of some so it makes it a bit easier as far as the planning.

Yes, people do get banned. Some great contrbutors too! Some may have reserected.

Yes, this forumn is very addictive! I have been here 6+ years.

The best "rule of order" goes like this:

Hey Mr. Wineman

send me a dream

bring out the nicest wine

I've ever seen...

Two Roman angels sent from above

all they are wearing

a white leather glove..

Which ones? Perhaps you simply could not find them.

Yeah, the editors say they are ALWAYS watching, but has anyone else noticed they wait to pull threads until we are all really having fun with them? Personally, I think they get a kick out of our comments, and then perhaps a boss or someone looks over their shoulder and they have to quickly delete the thread to save their job. Any other theories out there?

I'm also wondering how come they haven't pulled the knee ad yet. It really, really has to go!! amp;
