Any member that posts this joke need to buy every moderator a lens/camera of his/her choice.

Can we extend this to senior forum members also? Like, anyone who joined prior to 2004, or something like that...

Phew. That would exclude me.

I personally think the joke should be mandatory reading for anyone considering membership here. They would then know they've seen it already, and would not be tempted to post it again.

You know about 5 hours ago the mod team introduced a new forum rule!

Any member that posts this joke need to buy every moderator a lens/camera of his/her choice.

In that case...

Putting in my desire for a 500 f/4 as well. I presently reside in North Carolina. PM me for full address.

that's a great idea. when new member fill their application, put it in a scroll down window and the submit button at the bottom of it, to make sure they read it.

It would be possible to email it to all new members as soon as they sign up.

I think this should be a must!

Along with the $1 string monopod/tripod/image stabilizer - good idea!

We should put together a package for all new members that should include:

1. This joke.
2. Instructions on search usage and capabilities.
3. Instructions on how to post pictures and avatars.
4. An explanation of what the TF does and a list of who has already been eliminated as possibly being the TF .
5. This joke.
6. Why Lightrules is famous.
7. $1 string monopod/tripod/image stabilizer.

Any other items that must be added?

You should add the disaster story - the one where you have a choice between saving [Insert your choice of famous person here] or photographing the event and finishing by asking what film/lens/aperture/iso​/etc you should use...
