Hmm... that raises another issue: add to my list of differences between BAUTians that not everyone here has enabled A/V features. I for example have never heard/seen any of the Plait/Cain videos/audios. I know BAUT only as a text-based forum.

More generally, not everyone uses a Microsoft operating system, and not everyone who uses linux is particularly rabid either way concerning Microsoft, Yahoo, or Google.

And another thought: since BAUT and similar public forums are not academic forums, when I cite a paper I try to limit myself to arXiv eprints (which are available for download, for free, to anyone with an Internet connection) or to "open access" journals. But I sometimes see posters who happen to be university students with free access through their university library to the on-line version of print journals link to websites which those outside the academic community will generally be unable to access. So add a reminder not to do that to the proposed Q&A guidelines.
