She can post as many new threads as she likes. I was expressing a personal taste, nothing more.

In the case of a younger child, a spanking would, perhaps, be appropriate, and so, I'm doing the best that I can here.

That's it, I'm out.

Oh, boy - yet another rage quit over nothing.

In 1972 and 1973, the two Pioneer spacecraft were sent out to explore the outer solar system. being the first human-built objects to be able to achieve escape velocity from our solar system, it was decided to include a message should any aliens intercept them.
Carl Sagan was approached to design a plaque with a message from humanity. Linda Sagan created the artwork, and the plaques were fixed to both spaceships. According to Robert Kramer's memoir, the original design contained a line indicating the labia on the figure, but it was erased in order to get approval for the artwork.

Seriously, that plaque is a piece of theater aimed at a section of the public on earth, and for its true purpose And audience as oppose to its nominal purpose and audience it is appropriately both anthropocentric and ethnocentric.

I think the anthropocentrism is both forgivable and understandable. The ethnocentrism, not so much.

At a minimum it shows how big Homo sapiens sapiens are. Biological men are typically taller than are biological women, and in most cultures, the former tend to have the domineering attitude (for better or worse, probably, the latter). Note that the chick is not standing up straight but leaning in the direction of (her?) man. The aliens will certainly notice her rear-end, which in addition to indicating our possession of technology, our also having soft drinks, Cappuccinos, Espressos, sweets and other delectables. The man's body, on the other hand, will indicate our possession of fitness equipment, gyms and even online shopping. His friendly gesture clearly indicates our willingness to sell and buy from the aliens.

Lots of hidden messages in The Plaque, if one looks hard enough.
