Is Judaism a Cult?
I'm in Israel now, and I've come across a situation that I don't know what to make of; perhaps you can help. I'm asking you because you're the only religious person I know.
Basically, I bumped into an old classmate of mine. She is studying here in some Jewish seminary, and she has become religious. After speaking to her for about five seconds, I felt that she has been brainwashed. The way she was speaking was as if she was in a cult. It was a bit scary.
I have nothing against religion, but could it be that religious Judaism is a cult?
While it is not a cult, even Judaism can sometimes be used in ways that are disturbingly similar to how people behave in a cult.
What is the difference between a cult and a religion? Most people define the term "cult" so vaguely that anyone with strong opinions could be classified as a cult follower.
The best working definition I have heard is this:
I have nothing against religion, but could it be that religious Judaism is a cult? A religion is a movement in which people find themselves; a cult is a movement in which people lose themselves.
A cult hijacks your identity and makes you into someone you aren't. A true religion should enhance and deepen your identity, to make you a better you.
People who find religion go through changes. They learn to explore parts of their personality that they never knew existed. As a result, they often re-evaluate themselves and their lives. All growth is accompanied by some upheaval and instability, so they may go through a short period where they seem a bit weird to their friends and family. They may even missionize a bit, and try to "convert" everyone around them. They mean well—they just want to share their newfound inspiration with those they love. This is normal, and the family should try to be patient.
However, if they start to turn into someone else altogether, if they seem unrecognizable, then there could be cause for concern. If they lose their personality, their sense of humor, their interest in others, or their ability to think, then they may have lost themselves. If these symptoms persist, seek rabbinic advice. They may have fallen prey to a cult—or are using a religion as a cult.
Cults demand that you jump in unquestioningly. But when you make such sudden changes, you will have to leave your self behind. This is not the Jewish way. Judaism encourages questioning, even honest skepticism. Jewish spiritual development is done gradually and with thought. That way the changes will be real, as they integrate and harmonize with your personality rather than overwhelm it.
Give your friend some time. If she is indeed brainwashed, it probably won't last—she will jump out as quickly as she jumped in. Judaism can't be used as a cult for long. But more likely she will settle to a balanced medium, where her old self will come back again, but with a depth and direction that she never had before. Sometimes you have to lose yourself a little bit to find yourself again.
You said "An open religion where G-d is really the center of all has no controlling agents like in fundamental Judaism or other cultish religions around the world, but leaders, authentic, responsible leaders."
Who are you to say what is G-d centered and what is not? Are you G-d?? Do you have any evidence of this? Or are you trying to control how others believe about G-d in order to suit your own world view?
We believe the Torah was given to us by G-d. Therefore, we are not making any human argument as to what G-d wants of us. We are not following any man that wants to control us. We are following what we believe is G-d's will. That is not my Judaism, but the truth of Judaism and why it is not a cult.
If you disbelieve that Torah was given by G-d, that is your business. But to say we are being controlled and therefore that is a cult is a ridiculous argument.
Los Angeles
Regarding accepting a new mitzvah, you say "enjoy it".
1. How does that comport with "schar mithzvah - mitzvah"?
2. Doesn't "enjoying" a mitzvah detract from doing it "lishmah" and may even smack of Avodah Zarah (worshipping oneself, not G-d)?
However, in a person's Jewish growth today, this "Naaseh V'Nishmah" "we will do and we will hear" happens one step at a time. We take a small leap of faith and take on a new Mitzvah though we don't yet fully get it. Then we work on understanding it better. Appreciate it. Enjoy it. And sense how it is the real I.
And then take on another Mitzvah. And then another.
Going too fast actually isn't recommended. Not only because it often is counter-productive. But also because the goal is that your entire inside gets uplifted, not pushed aside, through a life of Judaism.
This is so different from a cult where the transformation is sudden, the goal is to push aside your identity, and there is a focus on separating you from existing relationships..
Cary, NC
I was worried the author was going to refute the questioner's observations; instead he explains the dark side of things.
Incidentally, Rabbi Moss's cult definition (source? If not don't worry) was helpful, and the idea of "using something as a cult". As someone who has gotten lost a number of times, it's important to recognize what it is you're "using as a cult" so you can let go of that.
A couple of times it was some element of Yiddishkeit, and I had to fix that abuse, but other times it has been other things.
Good life motto: Don't stay in a cult, especially not one of your own making.
Aren't all of his distinctions between "cult" and "religion" subjective or likewise contrived?
NY State
That's perhaps the pithiest summation of this religion I have seen. It's veracity is borne out by the fact that atheist Jews can continue to identify as Jews and to be recognized as such by their co-ethnics. Get your heads around that if you think this is just another religion.
Shabbat shalom.

text: TMax RS is a fine developer for all types of processing including rotary. Are you sure the mottling is on the emulsion side or is it possible your seeing it on the base side? I'm asking because this is occasionally something that can happen with sheet film processed in rotary tanks (the film base is in direct contact with the tank).

I am a Writer and Yoga Therapist in Los Angeles and try to travel and savor other cultures as often as possible. I am married to a lovely Australian man and we have three wonderfully entertaining cats.
I enjoy settling in with a nice glass of wine and good conversation or quiet time alone in my accommodations reading when I'm traveling. I am most at home in a neighborhood cafe drinking tea and watching the world go by. I love learning people's stories...

There is no debate that Wargaming's online tank simulator World of Tanks is as realistic as it can be. It's relatively slow and tactical. But sometimes it gets a little too realistic and out of control, mostly when you land on other tanks. Tony Hawk and skaters would be proud of that huge 180. »

Activision mulling over starting its own movie studio
Some games graphics, especially cutscenes, have started to look so real that sometimes it feels as if you're actually watching a live action film. Sometimes it makes you wonder why these aren't turned into movies themselves. Fret not, true believer, as Activision is said to be wondering about that too, and might actually do something about it as well.

Microsoft Yammer
Microsoft Yammer: Notifications Yammer's interface is extremely easy to navigate. Notifications appear in a notifications tab, and the individual notifications appear in reverse chronological order. They also show up as an overlaid tab so that you don't lose your place (i.e., get bounced to another page) when you need to view them.
4 / 8
Bottom Line
Microsoft Yammer is a reasonably priced online business platform that fosters communication and collaboration. It's a solid business social network with some light work-management tools. It won't replace a dedicated project-management platform, however.

Move indicates major Mideast policy shift
The European Union placed the military wing of Hezbollah, the Lebanese Shiite militant group and political party, on its terror list Monday in a major policy change toward the Middle East.
The EU's 28 foreign ministers reached the decision unanimously at their monthly meeting, swiftly swaying the last nations that had expressed opposition by committing to continued political dialogue with Beirut.
The action came after prolonged diplomatic pressure from the United States, the Netherlands and Israel, which consider Hezbollah a terrorist organization.
"The EU is sending a strong message to Hezbollah that it cannot operate with impunity, and that there are consequences for its actions," U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said in a statement.
Hezbollah issued a statement late Monday describing the EU decision as "hostile and unjust and not based on justification or evidence."
It alleged that the EU gave in to "Zionist American pressure in a dangerous way and took dictation from the White House," adding, "It seems that this decision was written by an American hand with Zionist ink."
Britain also had pushed for the EU action, citing a terrorist attack in Bulgaria's Black Sea resort of Burgas last year that killed five Israeli tourists and a Bulgarian. Hezbollah's military wing was accused of involvement, an allegation it denied.
In March a criminal court in Cyprus found a Hezbollah member guilty of helping to plan attacks on Israelis on the Mediterranean island.
Both Bulgaria and Cyprus are EU members.
"The EU has sent a clear message that it stands united against terrorism," said British Foreign Secretary William Hague. "It shows that no organization can carry out terrorist acts on European soil."
German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle emphasized European unity. "If you attack one of our European countries, you get an answer from all of us," he said.
The blacklisting entails asset freezes and paves the way for possible travel bans on members of Hezbollah's military wing. The ministers hope it will also curtail fundraising.
But implementation promises to be complicated since officials will have to unravel the links between the different wings within Hezbollah's organizational network and see who could be targeted for belonging to the military wing.
Diplomats late Monday were working on pinpointing the entities and organizations that make up the military wing. Because of this legal uncertainty it was unclear how many assets could be involved, and how many individuals could eventually be targeted.
Hezbollah, a highly secretive organization, does not talk about its business outside Lebanon.

Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence
Question from AyuSora
How long is the game?
I'm really curious, the first two games were sadly short, one of the biggest disappointments I had for them, and I might buy this game soon, but I want to know how long it will last me. Around how long does this game last?
6 years ago
About the same as the first two, roughly 15 hours.
6 years ago
First playthrough, its in the ten digit hours. after that, you get probably 10-13 hours since your used to it then.
6 years ago
But it has some decent replayability... kinda... ok not that much, but hey getting the bandana and stealth was cool in the other two right?....
well you should be able to enjoy it more, beacuse of the added realisticness, like getting tired from running swimming and pretty much everything and having to eat thing you collect (snakes mushrooms frogs rats etc) and it has all those fancy easter eggs like always =3
6 years ago
It depends on which difficulty level you play on like lets say you play on easy it will only take you 10 hours or so so yeah
6 years ago
It depends on what kind of gamer you are, if you're a completionist, this game could keep you going for months, unlocking everything, all the easter eggs, the different difficulty settings, experimenting with different gameplay methods etc etc...
6 years ago
My first playthrough was about 26 hours, but i kinda stink at the game.
6 years ago
Mgs3 is way longer than mgs2 and 1. The game has about like 12 hours or so of gameplay. Still has a lot of cutscenes but and way more gameplay than the other two games
6 years ago
Well this game can be as long as it takes you. its longer than the other 2 and its got a higher difficulty, which may therefore mak it take nearly twice as long as the other 2... so it really does depend.
6 years ago
Well I finished MGS1 in 12 hours, MGS2 in about 14-16 hours, and MGS3 in about 26 hours.......It was my first Metal Gear............DON'T JUDGE ME!!.
5 years ago
I played MGS2 3 days and beat it in two hours, I'm already on hour 8 in MGS3, but I haven't played it for 2yrs. My record is 9hrs, longer than MGS1-2 combined.
5 years ago
Mmmmmmmmmmmmm it took me on very easy not collecting anything or watching cutsceans about 15 hrs. but if you collect everything it took me 27 hrs.
5 years ago
My fastest time was 6 hours 51 minutes and 37 seconds. This game well to me will keep you entertained with many many play throughs. It's a decently long game.
3 years ago

But then again when Eoin Coifer or whatever his name was did a new Hitchhiker's book the media was all over that.
I really think it's the Adams factor at play here. A New York publisher sees the words "Douglas Adams" and they think, "Hey, we can make money on this!" I hope it's an experiment that works and the BBC gets what they've wanted since the late '90s, an American publisher.
As for Moorcock and

Bottom Line
The versatile Mitsubishi WD-52628 rear-projection HDTV has integrated flash media support and a bountiful selection of A/V inputs. And although our tests revealed some image shortcomings, overall the picture was pleasing and was backed up with good sound. All-in-all, this DLP RPTV advances the state of the art.

Religion, Economics, and Public Policy: Ironies, Tragedies, and Absurdities of the Contemporary Culture Wars
By Andrew D. Walsh
Religion, Economics, and Public Policy: Ironies, Tragedies, and Absurdities of the Contemporary Culture Wars
By Andrew D. Walsh
As Americans begin to dismantle the safety net of the New Deal era, the most popular version of the culture wars' thesis paints an arguably cosmic battle between defenders of religious orthodoxy who embrace laissez-faire capitalism and secular elites who have imposed a Marxist welfare state upon an unsuspecting populace. Walsh shows that this thesis ignores the role of religious leaders in legitimizing the types of programs embodied in America's approach to the welfare state.

1. Re: SSL RedirectionJon Scholten Nov 27, 2013 9:57 AM (in response to mlustfield)
Based on the fact that it is not working with path information, I would guess that SSL scanning is NOT applying. You should also check to see that for the initial request you see the Web Gateway's CA certificate.
If you're using a modern browser (ie9+ or FF or chrome), you can use F12 tools, to see if the Web Gateway is actually sending the redirect.
If you run rule traces, do you see any requests for the full URL instead of just the host?
2. Re: SSL Redirectionmlustfield Nov 29, 2013 10:48 AM (in response to Jon Scholten)
Thanks! The rule tracing helped me realized that only some requests were being sent to the correct domain. When the request actually goes to the gateway, it works exactly like it's supposed to.

Unable to play the trailer? Try one of these:MP4 640X360 WMV 320X180
Featuring: Rita Daniels
August 23rd, 2012
Rita Daniels is the boss, and she calls her star salesmen into her office. She's wearing a short skirt and her big tits are straining her blouse, which is distracting enough. The guys think they're in trouble. Sales are down. She tells them they're going to have to do a little tag-teaming. "We're good at tag-teaming," they say. She asks them what she can do to boost their morale. Will it take a bonus? A free trip? Rita's tits, pussy and asshole, perhaps? Yeah, that'll do it. You see, the boys have been talking about fucking Rita's 62-year-old ass. And Rita has been thinking about getting her 62-year-old ass fucked by her star salesmen. She wants them to work as a team? They can do that. They can jam her mouth with their cocks. One can fuck her pussy while the other feeds her his cock. They can take turns fucking her asshole. Because teamwork is all about sharing.
What Members are saying about this update...
May 08, 2015
Talk about staff motivation. A great way to get your team to bond - stick a hot body between them joined at the face and the ass. Watching Rita's ass get ridden in the downward dog while she was sucking cock on the couch was the standout.
January 01, 2014
Fabulous - what a lovely lady. Especially liked the attention given to her botty hole - that's such a nice one that I bet it has at least one cock or a gent or lady's finger in it every day!
April 17, 2013
Interesting scene this, its hard to believe Rita's 60 years of age with a figure like this, only her face really betrays her real age, don't get me wrong she is nice looking but her figure looks like it belongs to a much younger women (like so many of the women hear). Haven't you ever noticed that the women on these sites whether it be 40, 50, 60 or above all have pretty good looking figures, sure some of them have had nice boob jobs but not all of them, only their faces sometimes let their body down, what I always find fascinating and don't except with these mature women is the condition of their cunt holes, honestly in close ups some of there cunts look remarkable, big and meaty looking, which just goes to show you a women's pussy is the last thing to age! just like Rita who has a great looking snatch, big pussy lips, nice long gash, with a neat thin black landing strip just above her slit, Rita and some of these MILFS seem to have a bigger, meatier looking cunt than some of the younger girls you often see doing porn, and those black stockings shes wearing defiantly improve the scene and prove that older women can still pull it off, for me Rita fucking and sucking these big young studs looks pretty persevere in the best possible way, kind of like a fantasia that seems wrong (only in porno land could (would) this really happen, and she seems love all the sex and attention ever at the ripe old age of 60 a real genuine total fucking slut if ever there was one, and she even does anal sex. Yes yet another great hardcore scene from "60 plus MILFS". So just to sum up we have......double penetration, cock sucking, ass pounding, dirty talking, black stockings, cum eating and a whole lot more. FUCKING GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
February 04, 2013
Rita is amazing! I just wish there were more close-ups of her gaping asshole. I've seen her nice meaty asshole on other sites and it is a sight to behold.
September 25, 2012
Ok, 30 days and no update. Rita is a great view but not for 30days.
What are we paying for? The content seem to be slipping rather quickly.

ABOVE: Rick Steves, Europe Through the Back
Door guidebook author and TV travel host.
By Durant Imboden
Steves is the American author of the Europe Through the Back Door travel
guides and a TV program, Travels With Rick Steves, that appears on PBS
and The Travel Channel in the United States. He also has been a tour guide and
organizer for two decades, first as a group escort for Cosmos Tours and later
with his own Europe Through the Back Door travel company in Edmonds, Washington.
(ETBD started off in 1978 with a handful of minibus tours, and today the company
offers more than 140 escorted European tours each year.)
In one of his books, Rick
Steves' Postcards from Europe, Steves described the scams that are
rampant in the the European tour industry. Intrigued by his frankness, I suggested a telephone interview on two related
topics: "independent vs. escorted travel" and "choosing a tour
company." The following article is an edited transcript of our phone
Why should a traveler take a group
tour instead of using your guidebook?
Our guidebooks are designed for people who want to do our tours without
us--who want someone else to do the legwork but would rather travel alone. Our
tours follow the same basic itineraries as the guidebooks, but they help travelers get more out of
their time. We've already made reservations for the Alhambra, the Uffizi
Gallery, and so on. There's no need to stand in line--we march you right up to
the front and take you in. With our 20-day tours, you accomplish what it would
take you 30 days to accomplish on your own from a sightseeing and travel

Lexington police are looking for a man who literally broke into a gas station, then stealing several items.
Lexington police are looking for a man involved in a burglary at the Speedway on East New Circle Road. The burglary happened in early July.
"On July 5th at approximately 4:30 in the morning. He throws a large rock through the plate glass window", says Detective Carol Simms with the Lexington Police Department.
After the man breaks through the door he then goes inside.

Since her first hit "Genie in a Bottle" became a pop music staple, Christina Aguilera has kept her private life mostly under wraps. But on Tuesday, the singer publicly confirmed her split from husband Jordan Bratman , after nearly five years of marriage.
"Although Jordan and I are separated, our commitment to our son Max remains as strong as ever," Aguilera said in a statement after rumors of their separation began to circulate earlier that day.
Prior to meeting Bratman, Aguilera had been rumored to be romantically involved with "Total Request Live" host Carson Daly. She was also in a serious relationship with backup dancer Jorge Santos, who toured with her and worked on her music videos when they started dating in 2000. They broke up in September 2001, but the two still worked together throughout 2002, when she met music marketing executive Bratman through her management company.
Bratman and Aguilera dated for several years before becoming engaged in February 2005. "When I got to the last box, there was a ring in it," Aguilera told People.com about their romantic engagement, which included boxes of gifts, flowers and a poem. "He got down on one knee and said, 'Will you do me the honor of being my wife?' I've been floating ever since."
They later married in November 2005 in a lavish ceremony in Napa Valley.
Aguilera released her Back to Basics album in 2006, which she noted was influenced by their relationship. "I wanted to make it light and easy for people to dance to and sing along to, so the whole song is based on feel-good elements of soul and blues and jazz," she said. "Lyrically, I just got married, so it's about someone in particular, but it's all about feeling good and not taking anything too seriously."
The two then had a son, Max Liron Bratman , in January 2008. Aguilera shared that she and Bratman were very excited about expanding their family. "I'm hoping to have started a beautiful family with my husband!" she said. "He's thrilled! He's just great."
In fall 2008, Christina released her greatest hits album, Keeps Gettin' Better, which she said was heavily inspired by Max. "It's such a special time for me, being a new mom, releasing this [album] the first year of my son's birth," she explained. "I'm looking forward to the next 10 years, which is partly why I named the album, Keeps Gettin' Better, 'cause it does."
While promoting her latest album, Bionic, earlier this year, Aguilera didn't give any hints about her breakup. Instead, she talked about their "naked Sundays." But when she performed on the "American Idol" finale in May , the singer teared up during the breakup ballad, "You Lost Me." Also in May, Aguilera canceled her summer tour , citing a busy promotional schedule.
Since then, she has remained relatively low-key before she gears up to release her feature film "Burlesque." As the 29-year-old promotes her role as a young ingénue working in a nightclub, perhaps she'll reveal how this latest personal development influenced her yet again.

Brad Sherman Accuses Howard Berman Supporters of Stealing Campaign Signs
Now that we're down to the last 10 days of the Berman/Sherman blood feud, things are getting pretty silly.
First, the Howard Berman camp was high-fiving about Brad Sherman's photoshopped mailers. Sherman sent mailers to Jewish households that included a picture of his mother. But she was airbrushed out of the ones that went to the goyim. Everyone had a good laugh at Sherman's expense.
Now, Sherman is accusing the Berman camp of stealing his lawn signs. OK, typical campaign sniping. But Sherman claims he has the photos to prove it.
Take a look. At right is a photo of some Berman precinct-walkers in possession of some folded-up Sherman signs.
The photo was taken on May 13 by a Sherman supporter who saw the Berman crew hanging out at a Starbucks in West Hills.
"What were they doing with Sherman yard signs?" asks John Schwada, a Sherman spokesman. "Very suspicious. And it
comes at a time when the Sherman campaign has received numerous
complaints from supporters that their yard signs have mysteriously
Berman adviser Brandon Hall countered that the Berman supporters were simply cleaning the neighborhood of some unwanted litter: "Fed up with Sherman's negative campaigning, many (voters) have asked us to remove his signs that were placed in their yards without permission; we're happy to do so."
Hall called the sign-stealing accusation another Sherman "gimmick."
"Without a record to run on, all Brad Sherman can do is doctor photos, complain about yard signs, and crash our press conferences," Hall said.
Only 10 days to go! And then we do it all again in November!

Is there going to be some competition in the entry level trike market? This could be interesting. I had the impression that Terratrike was selling a lot of Rovers. I bought one via Utah Trikes custom shop - the X5 mod. (Yes, while my heart is set on a Velotechnik Scorpion FS, my budget is set on Rover.)
Stay tuned... From the press release...
December 27, 2010 from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. is your date and time to meet SPIKE, an all new $999.00 powder-coated chromoly frame recumbent tadpole trike that folds. We are very honored that Trident Trikes owner and founder, Tom Flohr, chose Trike Shoppe, LLC to host the world premier of his all new Trident trike. Not only does Spike fold, but it features a high seating position, direct steering, alloy wheels, 100 PSI tires and disk brakes.
I'll be looking forward to the spec sheet and the reviews. Perhaps we can get one out here to look at. Ft. Lauderdale is over on the other side. If you're there, go take a looksee.

The Apprenticeship Program
Since 2010 Cullberg Ballet has introduced an apprenticeship program within the activity Cullberg to come, Cullberg Ballet's focus on the next generation of dancers, choreographers and audiences. The apprenticeship is specifically designed to create a bridge for postgraduate students, leading them into the professional dance environment. The apprenticeship runs for the duration of the entire academic year within the framework of the educational program.
The apprenticeship offers the student:
• a daily training
• the possibility to follow rehearsals, learn repertoire and new creations
• the possibility to gain performance experience on stage and or in site specific projects produced and performed by the company
• the possibility to tour with the company within Sweden
The apprentice receives guidance throughout the year from both the company, in the form of a mentor and a contact person/guide from the training institute.
Each year we hold an audition for the apprenticeship; the details of the application requirements are posted on our web site and sent to various training institutions.
To be eligible for the apprenticeship you are required to be part of a postgraduate program that supports an apprenticeship placement as your final year of studies. For various reasons we are not permitted to employ any applicants who have graduated and are seeking employment.
Information on when to apply will be published end of 2015.

Musharraf named main suspect in Bhutto's slaying
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — Investigators on Tuesday named former military dictator Pervez Musharraf the prime suspect in the December 2007 assassination of ex-Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, raising the tally of capital charges leveled against the once all-powerful army chief during the last week to four.
The Federal Investigation Agency, Pakistan's national police force, named Musharraf in a document seeking his indictment by the court hearing the Bhutto case in Rawalpindi, a city adjacent to Islamabad that houses the army headquarters.
Musharraf ruled Pakistan from 1999 to 2008 after leading an October 1999 coup d'etat against Nawaz Sharif, who was then in his second term as prime minister and is now back in the office after his party won May elections.
The Federal Investigation Agency gave little indication of what evidence would be submitted against Musharraf, but it said it included sworn statements from two Bhutto associates, Briton Victoria Schofield and American Mark Siegel. Both have previously said Bhutto had told them that if she were assassinated when she returned to Pakistan after a decade in exile, Musharraf should be held responsible.
Bhutto and Schofield attended Oxford University in England together in the 1970s and were close friends. Siegel was her longtime Washington lobbyist.
The FIA move occurred a day after Sharif announced to Parliament that his administration would prosecute Musharraf for high treason for twice abrogating Pakistan's democratic constitution — first, when he led the 1999 coup and then, in November 2007, when he declared a state of emergency to facilitate the sacking of the rebellious Supreme Court chief justice, Iftikhar Mohammed Chaudhry.
The two counts of high treason both carry the death penalty if he is convicted.
The court has given the attorney general's office until Thursday to specify its planned method of prosecution, but the constitution specifies that treason charges must be heard by a specially formed tribunal of three Supreme Court judges.
Musharraf was formally arrested last week for the 2006 killing of Akbar Bugti, a former chief minister of western Baluchistan province who rebelled against Musharraf's rule in 2004, starting an insurgency that continues to rage.

We moderate comments. Our goal is to provide substantive commentary for a general readership. By screening submissions, we provide a space where readers can share intelligent and informed commentary that enhances the quality of our news and information.
While most comments will be posted if they are on-topic and not abusive, moderating decisions are subjective. We will make them as carefully and consistently as we can. Because of the volume of reader comments, we cannot review individual moderation decisions with readers.
We value thoughtful comments representing a range of views that make their point quickly and politely. We make an effort to protect discussions from repeated comments either by the same reader or different readers.
We follow the same standards for taste as the daily newspaper. A few things we won't tolerate: personal attacks, obscenity, vulgarity, profanity (including expletives and letters followed by dashes), commercial promotion, impersonations, incoherence, proselytizing and SHOUTING. Don't include URLs to Web sites.
We do not edit comments. They are either approved or deleted. We reserve the right to edit a comment that is quoted or excerpted in an article. In this case, we may fix spelling and punctuation.
We welcome strong opinions and criticism of our work, but we don't want comments to become bogged down with discussions of our policies and we will moderate accordingly.
We appreciate it when readers and people quoted in articles or blog posts point out errors of fact or emphasis and will investigate all assertions. But these suggestions should be sent via e-mail. To avoid distracting other readers, we won't publish comments that suggest a correction. Instead, corrections will be made in a blog post or in an article.

Hey there,
I signed up on here a little time ago but I never introduced myself.
After looking through some of the awesome cars on here I thought I'd say hello. I was going to put a thread up showing my car but I wasn't sure if it was really old enough to be shown on this site. Its a 1994 Mazda MX5.
Anyway, just thought I'd say hello.
