I need some clarification. Do we have to read this entire thread before starting all new threads, or do we only have to read it once and then we are free to start as many new threads as we like? If the latter, I suppose we can always come back to this thread (presumably it will be a sticky) if we ever forget what it says. Also, how is this going to be policed? When a new thread is started, will we get prompted to confirm that we have read this thread first - like a "Terms and Conditions of starting new threads" thing? If you don't have something like that, then you could get a situation where people start new threads without having read this one first - and that wouldn't be fair on ST holders.
