*smiles* Glad you guys like my "Ground Rules" so much. They've really come in handy over the years.

Ahhh the good old rule of treat those how you would wish to be treated... Obviously some people dont think that way though! Thankful that the majority of us do!

I'm thankful that the majority of us think that way too -- it tends to keep things much more civil. And although I came up with the "Ground rules" while in college and at my old job, the first four also keep a certain someone in mind. The quickest way to get on my bad side (and to get my eyes to turn that dangerous iridescent blue-gray color) is to break one of the five 'ground rules'. But I know none of you guys will do that, will ya? *winks, grins*

My ground rules are similar to Primrose's, but my rules for myself are a bit different. Over the years I've become very, very cynical, so my main rule is similar to Primrose's Golden One, but a bit different: Do unto others AS they do unto you! Also: I never have a battle of wits with someone who is only half-qualified. And, I'm a firm believer in Murphy's Law: Anything that can go wrong will go wrong! So I believe in making Murphy's Law work for me rather than against me. Say that I'm going on a picnic and Murphy's Law says if I don't take my umbrella, it will rain. So guess what? I take my umbrella! Another one: Success isn't measured by how long it takes for you to get up to the top. It's measured by how far you bounce back up after you fail! Finally, I always keep in mind that as soon as someone stops debating and instead starts accusing you or screaming at you or cursing you, congratulate yourself...it proves that they know that you're right! I've used that one on Toy a LOT!

I love your Ground Rules to Es. Your last one made me laugh, it is so very true that if they know your right they start shouting and cursing.

I love the ground rules. I ESPECIALLY love Murphy's Law. I've always loved that one and followed it to a tee. And I adore your golden rule. Hehehe.

guys! I'm glad you like them! I realized that the difference in *my* Golden Rule and Primrose's is what makes her the "Good" Admin and makes me the "Evil" Admin Edit note: fixed your smilies since the old links weren't working.

Yup. That's probably a pretty good part of it. But remember -- even the "Good" one has a little bit of in her too!
