Welcome, **mrlindeman**. Iā€™m just down I-80 from you, so if you have any questions, just holler real loud. šŸ˜‰ Make sure to poke around the FAQs, and read all the stickies at the top of the forums; doing that will make your first ventures into the forums more streamlined for us all. In vase youā€™re interested, [Here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=118749)ā€™s a thread that outlines some of the major event in the history of the board. (I didnā€™t mean for that to sound so cult-like, it just came out that way.) Happy posting. ---

**mrlindeman** , Welcome! Bienvenue! Bonvenon! A few guidelines for optimal enjoyment of the SDMB: Watch out for the religious discussions in Great Debates. Do not open anything titled ā€œMan Juiceā€ at work. Hi Opal. Bow down before our beautiful women/men/people of your preference. Be careful around our Rush fans, Star trek fans, and Harry Potter fans. Perform proper obeisance before Her Imperial Polarity. Do Not Feed The Trolls. Worship spirited debate, but always have your cites handy. Remember Gaudereā€™s Law. Learn the use of the Curly-Bracket Hug. Pay attention to the abbreviation ā€œTMIā€, or you will surely regret it afterwards. Learn the art of silent snickering, especially if you access the SDMB at work. Spell properly, even if it makes your head ache. Remember that Not Everyone Here Is Of United States Origin. Fear not math, for it is one of the many signs of intelligence, and intelligence is usually sexy. Tolerate difference. Make sure that your flameproof trousers are securely fastened before you enter The Pit. Always, always, _always_ā€¦ preview before you post. Have fun. šŸ˜ƒ ---
