But I like being sarcasm-font challenged. It makes me special

You always have been special! And unique!

Hey, I'm defensive and angry about everything. What's it to you?

When someone asks a sincere/real question, treat it with respect.

I've got 10 years in this business and came onto this board because I like to talk about it even when I'm not working ... but I quickly found out this board has a culture and language of its own ... and while I understand hierarchy and paying ones ... dues I'm getting a little frustrated and a little less eager about coming on. So if anyone has the time, please answer any of these and any other questions you're tired of newbies asking so we'll stop asking 'em ... at least until the next batch comes along. Thanks in advance:

1. Is it ethical for me to correct a key fact on my post, or even a typo, after the fact and, if so, how much time can go by before it's not ethical? Five seconds? The time it takes to burn a cigarette? Two hours?

2. Is everyone spell-checking and double checking even the most unessential facts in their own posts? I'm not.

3. Why isn't there some type of manifesto explaining rules/and or proper behavior and, if there is, where the hell is it? For instance, what has to happen for a thread to disappear? I recently read that its taboo to "out" someone. Is that true?

4. I now know what d_b is ... what does it stand for?

5. What other newbie mistakes are out there that you're tired of me and others making?

If you need your hand held on a message board, how the hell will you make it in the real world?

Give up now.

Seriously, I'd rather have a reporter willing to ask a "dumb" question than one who tries to fake and bluster.

It's a message board, not a press conference.
