Now, I know I might not be considered a reg, but I spend plenty of time here, and I after seeing so damn many related posts, I must say something: 1. Newbies: use decent capitalization and punctuation. It doesn’t take me any extra time to do so, and you, neither. If you don’t, you will get ripped. Not because we’re high-and-mighty, but because it’s annoying and hell to read something in all caps or with no punctuation. 2. People flirt all the time. Married or single. In real life. Why wouldn’t they here? Personally, I find flirting to be a stress-reliever, so why not do it? If it annoys you, then just ignore it like you would in real life. 3. Don’t be an asshole. It’s not that hard. I understand wanting attention. Happens to me sometimes. But don’t do it here. If you do make some brainless, heylookatme post, you piss everyone the hell off. On another note, I want to say, for the most part, this message board contains some of the most intelligen people with well-formed opinions, and **that** is why we stay.

This particular English rendering conveys the impression you intend to “do newbies.” Try again; but this time, please use correct grammar. 😉 ---
