Newbies are only allowed to post 3 times per day and one new thread per week. If you abuse this rule your PC is likely to explode.

I think that she has surpassed the new thread newbie rule (just a little! )
But she seems like a nice girl so she can stay.

Maybe we should introduce immigration quotas. Newbies in the following category are allowed to enter immediately:

First Preference: Unmarried, adult sons and daughters of BE Members. Adult means 21 years of age or older.

Second Preference: Spouses of BE Members, their unmarried children (under twenty-one), and the unmarried sons and daughters of BE Members.

Third Preference: Married sons and daughters of BE Members.

Fourth Preference: Brothers and sisters of adult BE Members.

There will be job based visas available but those hoping for one to take the position of "Troll" should note that we have far exceeded the quota for that job type.

Finally there is the Lottery, in which you will send a BE member the amount of $19.95 for entry into the lottery. Successful winners will be allowed BE membership. But wait, there's more! If you apply today you will also recieve free spiritual guidance from the Rev. Mighbe

Are you sure you want to give preference to my brother? His contributions would consist of, "Why the Militant Tendency is a vital Force in British politics" and "The validity of John Peel's Festive 50"

First Preference: Persons who can demonstrate an amusing "take" on US life.

Second Preference: Persons who know their place and flatter senior members

Third Preference: Crazy weirdos like sparklylorna or the one who warned about arch-demons in Chipping Ongar.

Fourth preference: Persons who do not know their place and insult Ray.

Lottery based on provision of a nostalgia thread which makes us go all misty-eyed.

Newbies who have a desire to move to Florida to be near Disney whilst posessing no skills,no US relatives and no large cash reserve will always be in the last preference category.

It was hugh.
