The mods are wise and decent people, and our social and mental superiors. I’m not saying that because I want them to like me, and the off chance that they are keeping track of who is not defending them in this thread. \_ \_ ---

Seriously, even if she kicks your dog and punches your sister, just smile and offer her chocolate. You’ll be much better off taking this route. 😉 _ahem_ Hi **Lynn**! How ya doin’ sweetheart? _grovel,grovel,grovel_😃 ---

Well, the fact is that we sit around the computer screen for hours and hours, and we get bored. So, we do little exercises to keep ourselves busy (as well as develop muscle tone), and one of those exercises is arbitrarily moving threads from one forum to anoher. It’s kind of a joke, see, **Samclem** finds a thread in GQ that mentions the word “enter” and so says it’s about enter-tainment and moves it to CS. Then I have to catch it, and move it back to GQ before the penalty bell rings. ---
