Sort of a spoof actually. On the one hand that was one of the funniest threads I’ve ever read, on the other hand there was some serious denseness going on a handful of peoples parts and it _was_ one of the most abhorrent cases of hijacking in board history, even though the OP went along with it. Overall though, I was trying to be funny. Guess not, huh? ---
