Yet we've been managing okay so far. Wonder why?

Indeed. Only we call it 'quorum'.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

It can get very sexual, yes.

Rules, schmules. [mods are the best] I'm a grown man and I do as I please. [mods rock] I will troll [may the mods forever be safe from all harm], I will 'call out' [we should all strive to emulate the mods in out daily lives], and anything else I choose [all praise to the mods]. And there's not a damn thing you can do about it [I wanted a mod for Christmas and cried when I didn't get one].

Ma ha ha [I love you, mods].

This sucks because then posts get quoted and quoted and quoted, and we have a bunch of word soup we have to clean up off the floor. If you're unsure about formatting, just ask. It's not difficult, and once you understand it, you'll actually want to use it.

I will put together a thread regarding this issue. Look for it in the next week or so.

I was all like 'Yeah Becca, you tell those low foreheads what's what!' Then I saw this part:
Quote:Quoting Others Accurately
...and I was like 'shit, I know I bolded someone's quote today and didn't add the (bold mine).' I felt like I was caught with my hand in the cookie jar. Sad
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
