These posts have a lifetime that will surpass all of ours. Your great, great grandchildren could read these in some far off archive. Armed with that scary thought, I'm going to make a vow today to do exactly what the title says.
I am as guilty, if not more so, than anyone of letting my fingers function while my brain lags.
If you are posting in anger, retribution or just plain meanness, take a moment to realize the power of the written word. In this age of instant gratification and communication, it is sometimes difficult to focus on the future ramifications of ones immediate thoughts.
The younger members must know that their reputations are being built here in their own words. You will grow to value that reputation. Take what you write here seriously, rest assured, that someone will.
The adult members have to keep in mind that the examples that we set are as permanent as these posts. It is a large responsibility and should be treated as such.
I will T-H-I-N-K before I post.
Collect Hard!,
RGBII
