My absolute favorite part of this from 10e20 is this and there are too many people who have trouble getting this to stick in their minds:

Do Not Self Promote.

Larwee I was thinking about you as I read that. I really like the way they talk about the fact that you can really get further in forums by NOT self promoting.

I also like the part about Introduce yourself 1st.

It irks me when merchants come here, do a drive-by program promotion without 1st doing an introduction. To me it's good etiquette and just plain common sense to do an intro, maybe try to answer a couple questions and be helpful before doing launching into a commercial about their program.

I guess they don't realize they'll get further by being part of the community and joining in discussions with a good sig, then that one post way down low in the forum will do for them.
