Q&A Instructions
A glitch, after clicking on New Topic link below, you will the same Q&A and Difference blocks. Look below Diff block to see "Questions for Members and Yes/No persons" header and the "New Topic" button.

1. Copy-n-paste what your question is about from the Member's forum, someones Yes/No forum, or any Member Q&A Dialogue.

2. Then click this link: hit New Topic button and paste your copy in the New Topic box. Remember "new topic" box is below.

3. Put members nicl-(x) number, e.g. nicl-1 or Yes/No persons name in Subject rectangle followed by the subject of question. For a long question, add more at top of Topic box.

4. Remember, an "I agree" or a "this is my last response" ends your part in the dialogue, and the other person gets the last word.

Finally, read and reread the Q&A procedures. They are meant to treat both sides of a Dialogue impartially.

2. In the Questions for Members forums you have to also register as a member and accept the Member agreements to answer questions from anyone about what you put in your Member Forum.

3.In Yes/No forums, you have to agree to answer questions from anyone about your specific Yes/No only.

4. To be notified of replies in Community Forums check "watch this topic" below topic entry box.

On the front page of this website you say "For the first time Earth has a central place on the internet where anyone's warning about a 'hole in the dike'....."
I think that the words "hole in the dike" should be changed to other words. Although these words convey the meaning of the sentence well, it makes the reader beleive that there is some far off thing that they are supposed to know about, that they don't.
A replacement that could be used to 'hole in the dike' could be danger.
