A few ground rules

a. Use a nickname or use your real name. It's up to you. A nickname is probably safer though.


b. If you know someone with a good idea but they can't use a computer or if they are not on the internet, please write down their idea or suggestion for them and put it here on this Counter-Summit.


  1. Warnings:

        1. If you do criticize someone else's suggestion, keep your comment short and to the point [if it is too long, I'll chop it down to size – and you won't like that]. A couple of words is enough. If it is a worthwhile explanation or a good hint on improving a previous suggestion, I won't have to alter it at all.

        2. Comment on someone else's ideas or suggestions, not on the person themselves. There's no need to be abusive or to incite abuse. As the saying goes "Be a real sport. Play the ball, not the man" [and yes, that does apply to females as much as to males].

        3. Be aware that some boofhead might pinch your ideas or suggestions and claim it as their all their own work – that's how those sort of people get promotion and credit: O.B.E. [Other Bas*ards' Efforts!]. If that worries you, better not write anything here – and especially if it is about a device you yourself have invented but not yet patented..
