Rules of the Guide

Thanks for visiting. We publish articles about Real Estate topics of interest. These are intended to be serious (or not too serious) discussions of contemporary real estate issues. Sometimes we go off topic based on our personal interests.

Here are the rules:

• Comments are moderated. We do not edit comments but reserve the right to delete not approve them if we deem they are inappropriate.
• Unfortunately, trackbacks are turned off due to an abundance of trackback spam. Trackbacks are back on for articles published on or after November 12, 2006.
• We do accept ads for products and services in our comments or trackbacks. If you get through, you will be deleted.
• We encourage candid comments.
• Be civil.
• When referring to other people (and agents) do not use real names if your comments are negative. Real names of agents are OK when cast in a positive light.
• We are not responsible for content or comments posted by others.
• Opinions of commenters are their own and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of the Guide or our broker.
• By the same token, our opinions do not necessarily reflect those of our broker.
• Do not steal our content or photos. If you do, we will track you down.
• Do not "hotlink" to our content. We know when you do and will provide substitute content that will embarrass you.
• Do not frame our pages in your Website. That's the same as copying content without permission. Besides, frames potentially destroy the look and feel we have painstakingly created for our readers.
• You may quote our content as long as you contribute it to us as follows: Provided courtesy of Merv and Pam Forney of the Northern Virginia Real Estate Guide and provide a link to the Guide.
• If you are unsure, email us with your request. We are more apt to approve if you ask.

Be assured that if comments become inappropriate in our sole judgment, they will be removed and the commenter will be banned. We practice safe blogging.
