i don't have a "default" tense or person. i ALWAYS predetermine what i'm going to use and for what reason.

I have a default: third person, past tense. I will use it unless I decide I have a good reason not to. (And, despite the horror it causes to Christine, I've used first person, present tense.) I don't need to come up with a good reason to use my default, all I need is the lack of a good reason to use something else.

You know, I have tried to give people information to help them in the forum where it will be read--on the following pages

http://www.hatrack.com/writers/writers/index.shtml

http://www.hatrack.com/writers/writers/how-to-join.shtml

with

http://www.hatrack.com/writers/writers/how-groups-work.shtml

giving information on how to do an online critique group.

I don't know if people even read these pages.

Any guidelines posted here in the actual forum will disappear into the ether if the topic isn't kept current by additional posts.

Perhaps what I should do is start some kind of "Rules" topic (since the FAQ area doesn't seem to be getting much use) and take from the discussion of what the rules might be to come up with better introductory web pages to replace the ones linked to above.
