Here’s the listing for the “new” Got Cite forum:
**Got Cite?**
Have a question? Ask it here, and you’re almost assured to get an answer on post 50, immediately following 17 jokes, 14 complaints about the jokes, 3 corrections to your spelling and/or grammar, 14 complaints about the corrections to your spelling and/or grammar, and one post that went in the wrong thread.
Let’s count,
Post #1: OP

Posts #19-32: 14 complaints about jokes
Posts #33-35: 3 spelling corrections
Posts #36-49: 14 complaints about corrections

Post #51: answer
As you can see the answer is actually on Post 51. :smack:
I demand the persons and/or mooses responsible for this accounting debacle be canned.

You’re assuming that one post can’t do two things, e.g., make a spelling correction and tell a joke at the same time.
