You read my stuff? Don't take it personal, Ann, but most of the stuff I
post here is for the lurkers to read, not the long-time informants who
have already read my stuff. I suspect there may be dozens of lurkers on
this forum. There seem to be only a few respondents anymore. My main
goal is to make the forum look good. Hey, why am I having to do most of
the heavy lifting here?
It's up to you if you want to read and respond or not. Go figure. It's
not complicated. Most of the netiquette protocols I've quoted are basic
rules found here:

Rule number three should really be rule number one: try to make
yourself look good on the internet.
If you're interested in Hitler, send your messages to the Nazi group.
If you're a Nazi and an admirer of Hitler, don't send messages about
Hitler to a spiritual group.
Don't send inflammatory messages to a spiritual group extolling the
face hair of the guy that killed six million Jews.
If you have brown hair that is currently grey and the moon is in the
seventh house and Jupiter aligns with Mars but your mother divorced at
the age of 45 make your posts in orange and avoid stepping in puddles.
On the other hand, if it's raining and your father wore suspenders
make sure all posts appear in italics but only on Mondays - any other
day you can go freestylin'. Got it Willy? Now don't disobey or I'm
going to bore you with my scolding and my rules from now until eternity.

Yeah, I'm with Buck on this one. There's probably no need to send
anonymous, nonsensical posts about Adolph Hitler's face hair to a
spiritual discussion group. Maybe it's time to review a few
netiquette protocols:
1. Don't send inflammatory messages to the discussion group.
2. Make sure to send your message to the appropriate group.
3. Try to make yourself look good on the internet.
Notes: Send messages about Hitler to the Nazi group; send messages
about Hitler's face hair to the Veterans Day thread; don't send
messages about planes to the locomotive group. Make yourself look
good by sending thoughtful or insightful messages about the topic at
hand and try to stay on topic. Try to be original and informative.

Ahem, Richard, your post seems to be one of those one liners you
rant about. Go figure!

Hitler preferred a curly "Prussian" style moustache but was ordered
to clip it during WWI so that it would fit under the gas masks
introduced to defend against British mustard-gas attacks.
Didn't save the bastard though: he was blinded in a Brit gas attack
in 1918.
