Welcome to the Drip Discussions group! This group is primarily for discussion of the weekly A Drip of JavaScript newsletter, but we're happy to see other JavaScript related topics as well.

There are just a few simple rules:

Always be polite to the other participants.
If you are asking for help, please include a JS Fiddle demonstrating your problem/question.
If a conversation starts to stray into subjects outside the purview of this group (like politics, for example) please take the discussion elsewhere.

Happy discussing!
