Guidelines for talk

Adding a new thread. Remember to include a title so people can browse more easily. Before you add a new thread, it’s often worth checking that there isn’t already an existing one on the same topic that you can add to. This helps us to keep the staffroom uncluttered and easy to navigate (unlike many real life staffrooms…)

Offers. Please insert your email address so you can be contacted directly. If you don’t want to go public with your email address, it’s best not to offer anything apart from advice or an opinion. If you do offer something concrete but don’t provide an email address, we will assume that you’ve forgotten and are likely to add it on your behalf.

Requests. Please contact the provider directly, using the email address they’ve given.

‘Please, please, I want one too!’ Bear in mind the fact that there’s a six month time limit on ‘me too’ requests. That way, the generous souls who’ve offered their resources aren’t bombarded long after a discussion has run its course.
