All of us that post on the LDM Forum have a common love of the LDM history, the thrill of the hunt, and the search for evidence of its existence, location, and the players that were involved. There is a tremendous wealth of LDM knowledge represented among our members that can be shared to the extent desired and built upon by all. Standing on this foundation, we all should be totally committed to making the LDM Forum the premier sharing, comparing, and analyzing body of Lost Dutchman Hunters in the world.
For this reason, I would like to request that all of us to make a public committment to the following Code Of Conduct for the Forum:
1. Mutual respect will govern all postings.
2. No profanity will ever be used in postings.
3. No personal attacts for any reason!!
4. Requests for resource references may be made, but no one's position should be attacked for lack of this.
5. Opinions are valuable.
6. New members are welcomed and understanding used in answering their questions and learning about the LDM.
7. The LDM Forum topics will be focused on the LDM and related Arizona legends.
8. Members will have ONLY one Forum name.
9. Compliments should be used to recoginze members for good research, findings, analysis, etc.
10. ALWAYS HAVE FUN!!!!
My request is that each member that posts on the LDM Forum to post their personal committment under this topic that they will follow this LDM Forum Code of Conduct Pledge and practice it at all times.
Here is my Pledge: I, Roger, will at all times adhere to the 10 points of the LDM Forum Code of Conduct Pledge in any future postings.
And now it's your turn!!!!!

code of conduct
Roger your post is right on. This reflects my opinion right down the line, (so I have to praise you for your insight) and needs to be stated.
I do not think that I will have any problem with any of the steps listed except for profaity as I tend insert this from time to time, but I will be careful not to. Also I might at times sign my posts with James Hamrick not Jim Hamrick, please forgive this trespass.
I, Jim Hamrick, pledge to follow the ten steps as outlined in the "Code of Conduct".
I hope that all sign this pledge.

Good Idea!
Roger,
Seems like a "no brainer". You sir, are a keeper.
I, Joe Ribaudo, pledge to follow the ten steps as outlined in the "Code of Conduct".

Now It's Your Turn!!
Jim Hamrick, Joe Ribaudo and Jim Hurt (aka Murphy) have signed up to the "Code of Conduct" for the LDM Forum. I am suprised that so few are willing to commit.
Many have had issues with Joe over the past year on some of his postings. However he was one of the first to sign up to the Code of Conduct. The tone of his recent postings indicate that he is going to abide by this Code going forward.
Now what about you? If you have been in this dogfight recently, I urge to to sign up and let's keep this Forum growing and sharing in a positive manner. Most of the Forum members are well behaved, but I suggest that you, too, sign up to the Code so that those not willing will be clearly visible.
I will occasionally post a running list of those that have signed up.
Your support of this effort is appreciated!!

The Real Me
I was afraid Forum members would not be willing to give out their real identities in responding to the pledge, so I did not start it off like that. Some might only want to use Forum nicknames.
I am with the rest of you that have signed up to the pledge with their real names.
Here is my Pledge: I, Roger Newkirk, will at all times adhere to the 10 points of the LDM Forum Code of Conduct Pledge in any future postings.
Who's next?

Names
Roger,
Jim Hamrick and I always sign our first and last names. The rest just followed that lead here. Hope it catches on, and everyone sees the benefit to the site.
Right now, there have been 366 view, and only ten signers. I guess I was wrong about it being a "no brainer".
See you next weekend.

Past Conduct
Greg,
You could have written the "Code Of Conduct".
See you at the "Dutch Hunters' Rendezvous".
For those who are still thinking of attending, it's not too late to "sign up".
E-mail me your name, address and phone #, and I will call you to confirm. We have around 30 people who have confirmed right now, but a certain percentage will not make it.
I will still have stew and garllic toast for 30, Fri. eve. and biscuits and Italian sausage gravy for Sat. morning.
Without exception, (almost) every person on this forum will be welcome in the camp. It goes against my nature to ban anyone from such an event, but making new friends is the focus of the Rendezvous, not fist-fights.
At some point in time, every one of you will wish you could say:
"Hell, I was there!". (Elmer Keith)
Respectfullly,
Joe Ribaudo

The Newest Menber
All,
I see where Jack Carlson has recently joined the Forum. I know that he has been looking in for a long time.
Jack,
let me beat the rest of these honyaker's to the punch, and be the first to welcome you to the LDM Forum.
I don't know how available you will be, but I can just see the questions forming now.

Joe Ribaudo

FIND THE MAN IN THE COFFEE BEANS

GREAT exercise while searching for Dutchman clues in the Superstition Mountains.
Go to Member Archive view the picture
Doctors have concluded that if you find the man in 3 seconds that your
Right half of your brain is better developed than most people. If you
find the man between 3 seconds and one minute, then your right half of
the brain is developed normally. If you find the man between one minute
and 3 minutes, then the right half of your brain is functioning slowly
and you need to eat more protein. If you have not found the man after 3
minutes your right half of your brain is a mess, and the only advice is
to look more for these types of exercises to make that part of the brain
stronger.
The man really is there.
In fact, once you find him, you cannot miss him afterwards
