The founding premise is that every human being is capable of creating a body of knowledge, however small, that would be of value at some point in the future.
The value might only be to the author, who would be using Dr. Dartnell's web site as a Cloud repository.
On the other hand, the value might turn out to apply to others who may discover the collection at some point in the future.
The first rule of thumb is that the author will attempt to keep the brand of their membership in the forum present in the Current Week Active Topics list.
The second rule of thumb is that feedback to the author will be provided via the private email service, instead of by posting a message in the author's thread.

2017/02/21 Addendum
In private conversation with Dave Z and Maurice Goldsmith on this forum, I have come to the realization that Dr. Dartnell's forum can become a legacy vehicle for its members. It is possible for a member to contribute a single nugget of insight, wisdom or knowledge to the forum each week, in a continuous thread. This repository will live on past the demise of the member, and it can be mentioned in the member's obituary. As with the Author concept described above, it would be courteous of other members of this forum to resist the temptation to intrude upon the member's legacy thread, and instead transmit encouragement or constructive criticism via private email. As of 2017/02/08, this thread is over a year old.
Edit: 2020/05/25 This web site is generously supported by Dr. Lewis Dartnell.
In acknowledgement of his support of this web presence, it is appropriate for me to remind visitors that Dr. Dartnell's book is still available via eBook or hard copy formats.
Amazon.com carries the book as: The Knowledge: How to Rebuild Civilization in the Aftermath of a Cataclysm
