One of the things I miss about the old pre-pay Board is that we just don’t seem to attract the bat-shit crazies the way we used to. Sure, they were annoying, but we also had a lot of fun with them.

Welcome to the SDMB, **fin007**. It’s a great place if you learn to get along. Standards are higher here than in the real world. You ain’t the smartest kid in the room any more. You’re expected to write coherently, and if you’ve got opinions to express, be prepared to defend them logically. This place will definately teach you to think before you post. Get over what’s bugging you, and you could wind up making some friends here. If you’re just trying to get your kicks by riling people up, you’ve wasted your 15 bucks.

The Wailing Wall would be an example, I suppose.

Only if it’s Elton John’s version. That one had much more grunt than the original.

Hey, I like the Beatles. I was born in ‘63, and remember the later stuff. But Elton’s _Lucy in the Sky_ is better than theirs. Hey, it’s fun bein’ a heretic. 🙂
