I wonder if it would be a good idea to have a bit of a brainstorm and come up with a few guidelines for posting to our forum. I am sure this would help iron out misunderstandings and encourage people to post who may be reluctant to for fear of breaking some kind of unwritten etiquette.
So I'll make a start with one which has already been pointed out:
If it's your first time, a brief introduction would be nice - Who you are, where you live, if you have a wood, it's type etc.
Be polite, disagree, but respect other people's rights to hold differing views.
If a thread starts to go 'off topic', start a new one with a new title, makes it easier to find again.
sure there's lots of others.....
