I try to follow the practice of never posting anything online I would be embarrassed to have my mother see. It always helps to stop and read what you just typed before hitting the Send button (a side benefit is you can also find typos and misspellings that way.)
Speaking of my mother, she often said "if you can't think of anything nice to say, don't say anything at all."
In reply to Colin Wood :
