I’m not going to put up any links or anything, but that Pit thread leads down a pretty wonderful “best of the worst of the Dope” rabbit hole if you tug at some of the threads therein. So thanks! ---

Since there haven’t been any recent comments on the actual topic of this thread and this is starting to drift pretty far away from its topic, I’m going to close this. If anyone has something on-topic that they wish to add to this thread, let me know and I can re-open it.
