Accessibility Statement
We have attempted to make this site as accessible and usable as possible doing everything we can without editing the publishing platform’s core files. We won’t bore you with the details but will instead let the features speak for themselves. In other words, if you need something to enjoy the site and access our content, whatever it may be, you should find that your needs have been met. If you do find difficulty using something, please let us know. [ Intro ]
Privacy Policy
We do collect certain data when you visit, contact us, comment, purchase something, or join, but all of it, every character of text, every number, every byte of data, it all stays with us. We do not, and will not, and morally cannot, sell, lease, rent, gift, or in any way share your personal information. Period. [ Intro ]
Copyright Statement
All content and photos, unless otherwise marked, are the intellectual property of Thompson/Center Association (© 1986-2010). You may enjoy the site for your own use, and you may print the pages and use them for personal purposes. (The pages are modified for printing.) You may also quote partial content excerpts used in referencing materials (of all media types), in blog and news articles, forum posts, and critical reviews.

Site Disclaimer
This web site is meant to work as advertised and deliver to you its written content as a minimum requirement. We do not guarantee this, though. We tried our best. We would, however, like to know what troubles you are experiencing, if you are indeed having an accessibility or usability issue. If you are able to, communicate with us by any method provided on our contact page. Also note that external links — links to other sites — may lead to web sites which are less accessible than this site. If you’re one who requires web accessibility features, be forewarned. [ Intro ]
RSS Subscriptions
You may subscribe to our RSS Feed if you have a feed reader or a browser that supports it like Opera, Firefox, Safari, Internet Explorer 7, and others. RSS allows you to get content updates via your browser or reader in real time so when new articles, news items, trading post items, or anything posted in our “blog” you’ll be in the know and can access the article directly.
But wait, There’s more! When comments are open, you can subscribe to the comments just for that entry. This is ideal if you’re hoping to track a particular item in our trading post or to see if an article-related question is answered by another member or a site admin.
