   Rules ? What rules? There are Rules? Now you tell me.
   The only rule is "there are no rules".

   sorry that didn't help much but I had to get it out. I feel better now.

   I typed in : "knots discussion rules"

   I got no rules so I say go for it. If they are going to make it hard to find what the heck.

   Oops . . . I can't just let a good search go . . . :

   When you go to the Fine Woodworking home page and click on Community, the page welcomes you to Knots. At the bottom, it has 'For Beginners', 'For veterans' and 'For one and all' and in 'For one and all', it shows House Rules. Click on that and you'll be able to see what's allowable, or not.

   Here's a link:

   LOL! Non-commercial? This is surely not an attempt to advertise your site or to gather contacts. We readers on this forum really are a little smarter than the average chisel handle in our workshop.

   If you are a woodworker, welcome. Participate. But if you are here to enjoy free advertising and earn money from us, there are legitimate ways available to you. If you truly want to know the rules, read the agreement that nearly none of us read when signing up for this forum. However, Thanks for asking permission first — even if it was from those not in authority.

   By the way, I am a recent first time Smartflix customer and I intend on repeating. May I suggest you invest in an advert in FWW. You're making money off their DVD's and it's right to spread the wealth so that they can continue to supply you with some of your business assets.

   Don't poison the hand that is feeding you.

   BTW: Nice Business Model. Kudos!

   Greg
