I feel compelled to mention a small point of fact.
Anthony, Mr Newspaper guy, when you start to beat someone up verbally (especially on the topics of spelling and grammar) it helps if you spell things correctly. Please note that grammar is spelled as you see it the two times I have used it in this post. Have a nice day.
And Eddy...what's with the use of single smileys as a post...have you gone Kwong on us?
Re: Re: Attention All Rcnt Members
In some cases (like above) a picture is worth a thousand words.
Is this better?
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. --That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. --Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain [George III] is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.
He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.
He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.
He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.
He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.
He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.
He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance.
He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the consent of our legislatures.
He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:
For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
For depriving us, in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:
For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:
For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies:
For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.
He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.
He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.
He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty and perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.
He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.
In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.
We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by the Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.:no_commen

Yeah, I hear all of you, We understand what your all talking about, we have been here too. The good thing, is that we all, members and staff, agree on what this site is, this keeps it original, we will always have spam, this is unavoidable in free speech site, it comes and goes, thanks for the help.

I had an idea that might stop the rehashing of old stuff issue. I've seen this a few times on RCNT, but it might be best if we all start doing it. When a new person posts a new thread like "T-Maxx or Savage" (or any of the tried and true new person questions), simply reply with a link to an old thread that happens to answer their question in detail, and move on. If they don't bother to read that thread, then that's their problem. It sounds harsh, but it might work.
Here's another noodle bender. If new people don't bother to read current threads, why would they read this one? If they don't read this one, will anything change? But it is nice to know that we're all on the same page.
Whitt....

Hey NA.. Hey old buddy.. Is there any way all posts and threads could be submitted to you prior to actually appearing here on the forum???? That way you can determine if it's too spammy, too combative, too off point, or just plain to damn dumb for anyone to read!! Surely everyone here must know by now that only NitroAddict can determine what is and isnt worthy.. You really need to get a grip man... Go get an exclusive NitroAddict club forum and screen all your members.. On the newbie thing, I think it takes anyone just a little while to get the jist of things around here.. Alienating them before they get a feel for the general tone and basic working of the site will leave this place with just a few peeps.. Hell I just realized I could send money to help support on the financial side of things and am glad to do it.. I find this site extremely helpful and would love to see many more people come aboard and share ideas and opinions.. O.K. You can all jump on me now!! 
I know my sentence structure was weak and all... hehehe.. Peace!!!

You guys crack me up. Thanks for reading this post - understanding it, and making some good comments. Again - I am in no way trying to mod the site - just making an observation. I know I have been part of the things I condemned in this post (sky: grammar - g r a m m a r. grammar). Once again - all of you are great - and the family feeling we have going on here is what makes this site so great! BTW - Eddy, we all love u too! LOL.
Anyone seen Flash? Bmoc? lol.

yeah Sky you are a contributing member....delete one of those posts...
I would delete it but would rather chuckle for a while.
I think Sky is on a spam rampage. :egad:

I have seen this happen a few times in the past day or so.
I will notify Woodie.
I will notify Woodie.
Should we call that a "Spampage"? :spam :sniper:
Wow. I can't believe that I just noticed this post. hehe. My biggest pet peave is when someone posts with out reading the entire thread. I also agree with what error mentioned. If we find a commonly asked question just post the link to the other thread.
I think hes working on a second avatar.:shhh:
My 2cents
NA, I understand your points like the repetitive topics and I like the ideas to refer to past threads. But like indyjohnny mentioned let's not alienate the new members. The repetitive topic will always occur with a new member. It's just like working in a retail/sales environment you will always run into the same question. What's better? What do you recommend? That new person needs help and would like to ask our opinion. I'm writing this just in case a new member reads this thread and feels they shouldn't post anything.
Memo to New Member: don't be afraid to ask questions. I believe this is why this forum was created, to share ideas and help each other out.
As for the posts of just smiley faces or a few words in response, I don't sweat it. I believe in freedom of expression. Expression through pictures or words of any amount is something that this country has fought for. Without it we wouldn't have social influences from Andy Warhol to Andy Rooney.
Oh, and always turn that shock screw by the tank on the Savage. Take it from a guy who learned the hard way. J/K
