CindyH’s Guidelines For HBO Posts

Tongue firmly cheeked, CindyH's proposes the following Guidelines to Consider Before Posting an HBO Comment:

  • 1. Is it kind?
  • 2. Is it necessary?
  • 3. Will it add to the convivial feel of HBO?
  • 4. Would it make your mother proud?
  • 5. Will it make others laugh with you, not at you?
  • 6. Will it make DFO's head spin 'round in scary circles?
  • 7. Will it earn you votes as best-loved commenter at Blogfest?
  • 8. Does it contain any of the three forbidden “S” words? (If you don't know what those are ask your mother)
  • 9. Will it make HBO a better place and earn you free beer at Blogfest?
  • 10. Will it make me laugh?

Question: Any other suggestions?
