What can be done in a forum? First off, speak the same as if you were standing in front of the person you are talking to. If you _really_ do get up in their face when you speak, take the gold chains off for a minute and lose the Jersey accent. Respect goes a long way. Respect also goes _both_ ways. If you get an email from someone, respond to it, even if it's saying that "no, I can't help". | What can be done in a forum?

== User facts of life == | |||
* Those that can't "create" an entire aircraft from a blank screen will have to wait for someone to build it. Don't post a blind "please build this" advertisement. My guess is that has never worked, and is borderline rude, asking for something without ever offering something. Accept your limitations, enjoy what we have. | |||
* Don't believe that you are the _only_ user, and therefore represent everyone when you stand on your forum soapbox. _Everyone_ may not share your emotion. | |||
* You have no power and control, and that's not a bad thing. You reap the benefits of many people that have come before you, and even those that may come after you. | |||
== Developer facts of life == | |||
* You have power in what you do, and you have total control. This does affect your relationship to the person that is a "Non-developer", whether you believe it or not. Choose to realize this, and be respectful. | |||
* As a "developer", you have been given power and control over something that really doesn't belong to only you. Without a board of directors to oversee your actions, realize that _do_ have a responsibility to provide your part of the "development". You have to consciously choose to do this, for power and control are strong drugs. | |||
* For the most part, there was someone before you, and their will be someone after you. Your actions will help ensure there is a place for someone after you. Remember the past. Don't be the reason that those before you chose to leave. | |||
May FlightGear always provide the beauty of flight to those that are bound by gravity. | |||
