Jeez **Ed** , IMO you really need flashing banners on every page if you are going to enforce the new and improved rules for the pit.

I think I know the rules so I don’t re-read the ‘sticky’ each visit in case of a change. Yeah, in a perfect world I would-should but … Jeez Louise…

I fear many will not see the new and improved rules & there will be train wrecks & riots in the streets… :eek::eek::eek::eek:

YMMV

It won’t be a problem, because no one will be here posting.

I don’t like these new rules. And since this is the Pit, golly gosh darn them to heck.

I’ve posted an [announcement](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/announcement.php?f=5) about the new Pit rules (with a link to the rules and the ongoing thread in ATMB), so hopefully that’ll help lessen some of the confusion and extra threads.

I’ll go ahead and close this one down.
