People NEVER get anything. That’s why this WHOLE site will ALWAYS be TOTALLY screwed up. ---

Hmm, 9 posts, not 5. I was really off my game yesterday. In all fairness, I wasn’t feeling too great, and the sun was in my eyes… ---

“Never accurate?” No, they can sometimes be highly accurate, ie: Posters named **dropzone** are always right. “Always funny?” Not always. The generalization “Posters named **dropzone** are always right” is more pathetic than funny. “How come nobody gets it?” Again, I think you are over-generalizing. Usually, some people get it while others don’t. And there are always those people who get it but pretend they don’t. ---
