Answers:

1: Yes. There are some guidelines you can read about here.

2: Stories are also archived on the other Suzanne Brockmann Bulletin Board.

3: Well, yes and no. In order to keep this Bulletin Board conversational, we can't archive the messages. There is another Bulletin Board that you can visit here. This Bulletin Board archives messages; and sometimes, really really nice people here will archive fun, important and not so important messages on the other Board while you are gone.

4: You can find out about how Suz got her ideas about SEALs here.  Scroll down to read the "Note from Suz".

5:See above Answer No. 6.

6: Suz has written about many different people, including business men and women; antique dealers; cops on the run; time travelers; and movie stars. See Suz's backlist.

7: Email the BB Admin at SuzanneBrockmann@aol.com . If you have a question about the Bulletin Board, please put "RE: BB" in the subject header.

8: NT stands for no topic and NM stands for no message. If you see those being used on a BB posting, the poster doesn't have any message in the body of the post. There are also all kinds of other acronyms that people may use on the internet and can be found here.

9: Yep. It is okay to disagree with someone's post. It is also okay to say that there are books that you don't like. Just remember that when you are posting a dissenting or contrary opinion, it is okay to say "well, I guess we'll have to agree to disagree!" but "Gee, I guess when you forget to take your meds you get really STUPID!" is not. The latter response will be deleted. The wonder of the internet is that people from all over the world can come together and share their views and opinions on every topic from recipes to world hunger. When so many people from differing backgrounds and personal life experiences come together, we are never all going to agree about everything. Just remember to respect each others opinions and do not flame others when their opinion does not agree with yours.

10: Yes, Suz does read the Bulletin Board and does post, but only as Suz Brockmann or Suzanne Brockmann. While she is writing, she probably isn't reading the Bulletin Board, but you want her to be writing.

She does chat occasionally, when she is not writing or when she is not reading the bulletin board or when she is not out on her signing tours. Notices of chats are posted to the Bulletin Board or on her chat schedule page.

11: We log your IP address which is the address of your computer so that if you are trying to cause trouble, we can contact your Internet Service Provider to let them know. Bummer, huh? We told you the internet was an amazing place.

12: You can post on the Bulletin Board here or learn more about Suzanne Brockmann and her books here.

13:  Yes, there is.  You can find it here.
