This is the General Message Board for discussions of general topics – anything you want to discuss, from education to technology, politics to religion.  Controversy is welcome.  For discussions of specific topics, follow these links —

Language, Grammar, Usage:  The Grammar Discussion Board
Punctuation Issues:  The Punctuation Board
Words and Semantics:  Words Discussion Board
English As a Second Language:  The ESL Board

Registration is required to participate on these boards (one registration covers all boards).  Please follow the directions below to register.  Registration requests are manually processed.  After you submit your request, you will need to wait for an e-mail from me confirming your registration before you can log in.

To register, send your request to me at zeemudge@hotmail.com.  Provide:  (1) Your real name (this remains confidential; only usernames can be seen by site users),  (2) Your e-mail address.  (3) The username that you intend to use.  (4) The password that you intend to use.  Passwords must be at least six characters.  Keep a record of your username and password.  As soon as I receive your request, I will respond.  Give me some time to do this; I do not live in my Hotmail inbox.

NOTE:  If you wish, you may experiment with drafts and HTML code by using The Workbench before posting publicly.  (Instructions are on that page.)

The numbers that appear below are links to pages in the board.  They appear whenever the number of the threads exceeds the limit that can be accommodated by one page.  House rules for use of the boards appear at the bottom of this page (beneath the discussion topics).

Information and House Rules

> This site is hosted by CitySlide, which controls how the Message Board functions.  I cannot alter those functions.

> The boxes in which messages are written permit html; therefore, if you know html coding, you can use features such as italics, boldface, or underlining and can create links.

> Any topic that is in good taste is acceptable.  To start and participate in discussions about English grammar and usage, please go to the Grammar Discussion Board.  (You do not need to register separately for that board).

> Rude, discourteous, or utterly silly posts and "flaming" or "stalking" of other participants are not permitted.  Please treat others (and me) as if they were friends you don't want to lose.  Repeat offenders will have their registration privileges revoked.

> For search purposes, try to put key words that identify the subject of the message in the message title.  Google's "bot" will eventually pick up message text, but a good title makes searches more efficient. 

Climb aboard, have fun, and thank you for being here.
