I would echo Chuck's final paragraph (below), but add three additional comments:

1) Please don't state something as fact unless you are 100% sure about it. Remember, you are sending your post to 700+ people worldwide, so it is very easy to accidentally spread mis-information.

2) Please re-read several times any post that you feel requires a response before you hit that send button. It is also easy to misunderstand what someone is saying without the benefit of face-to-face contact.

3) That said, NEVER, EVER be intimidated from posting by a fear of any cyber-bully that you think might make smart-ass comments (to 700+ people worldwide) about your post. If you compose your message carefully and thoughtfully, you should never have to worry about such things on this list. The truth is hard to argue with! (Of course, passionate opinion is another kettle of fish entirely...).
