OK, I'm forming a RULY mob. |
|
We will be governed by Marquis of Queensbury Rules and Emily Post's "Etiquette in Society, in Business, in Politics and at Home"
Gentlemen will be attired in coat and tie at all times and ladies will wear dresses with skirt length at least 6 (six) inches below the knee.
No cursing, loud talk, or boisterous behavior.
We will draft a polite petition requesting the moderators to delete the Thread That Doesn't Die. All present will be signatories of same.
At the conclusion of proceedings tea and watercress sandwiches will be served. Thank you.

I just needed to be reassured that this was being treated with all the seriousness it deserved.
