I have quite thick skin, but a few things really get my goat, so it is time I published my rules

1. This my blog, not Microsoft's or for that matter, anyone else's
2. Comments posted to the blog should respect me and others posting here, otherwise they won't get published
3. As to no.2, that means talking to me and referring to Microsoft as Microshaft or M$ will stop your comments being published - I have added them to the spam engine as high count spam words
4. Comments should refer to the blog or previous comments - it is not to share YOUR view of the world, industry or your life
5. Comments should not be used to advertise products, your website or other places you want people to go to for your advantage (a link to more information that is informational is OK)
6. Posting to tell me that I missed and apostrophe is useful, but I failed English 1st time at school, so the odd grammar mistake is to be expected - this is not some polished communications vehicle that is managed - it is the dribble that extends from my brain, down my often traveling and tired fingers  

I have recently not published several comments based on the above, which I had assumed was obvious to all, but now I felt the need to publish this to get it in the open.

Have a great day

David
