Looking at the new posts the last few days, you pretty much can't post anything anywhere as everything is labeled "serious".

Thread counts are up...posts are up...quality is down.

I have no idea what this is about.  And I doubt I have the capacity to understand.   Truce

I am glad whatever it is makes you happy.

It's pretty obvious that you're just pushing the limits with the topics that you're calling [serious], Mr motor-fingers.

All the topics that I posted with the serious tag are seriously meant to be seriously addressed both by myself and others.
