This money, it is too much. You should have some small refund.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I can only speak for myself, but my goal will be short and as clear as possible wrt to the documents.

Now see, I was going to do this whole complex of mutually-linked documents, and with Flash and Shockwave and -- okay, not.
Point taken on the brevity-needs. (Although I don't want to lose linky citations, because they are nice ot short-circuit an argument along the lines of "What doofus decided that?") The All Up In Everybody's Business Committee will mark down "Hemingwayesque language" in its goals statement.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Up with the sun
I think that ideally, the All Up in Everybody's Business Committee should generate two documents -- Etiquette, which could be long and colorful and fun to read, and Rules, which would be "don't do this, or we smoosh you like bug." Or possibly the names could be vice-versa'ed.
And there should be an FAQ, somewhere.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I prefer the idea of a brief-as-possible combined Etiquette/Rules. We can still link to the long filked etiquette for the fun stuff.

Our wings are not tired.
This discussion is reminding me of the "Rules Girls" and reading their crazy posts. Sorry.

Guy #1: Man, there are so many hipsters around. I hate hipsters! Guy #2: You're at the wrong place. That's like going to Vegas only to say "I hate titties!" --The Warsaw, Williamsburg (OINY)
I kind of like reading the Z-- stuff too, it has a kind of drive-by accident quality to it that makes me want to rubberneck. I know it's wrong.
PS I'm still at work. Yes. Waiting for my proof from the printers so I can give them the order. [/natter]

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Let us email. Also possibly with Jesse, so as to create a Committee of Being All Up In Everybody's Business.
I think I used to be on this committee...
