In the olden days of AOL, I specifically left things unattributed for privacy reasons. Now I just paste willy-nilly and any names that happen to be around get put in. I can try to remember to start putting a name with them, though. [if anyone wants to spent all night at the search engine and find names for the stuff already there, I’ll add them as well.] ---

Zebra: lol! No, it’s just that the subject of the post [the entirely useless warning label] was so incredibly idiotic that I felt that ‘fools’ was a good placement for it. ---

Ok I was just wondering. After reading what to expect in the page of fools and then clicking the link and seeing my post I was a bit puzzled. ---

As I said… I’m not responsible for anyone losing their job. Nor am I responsible for medical expenses should you become unable to breathe and fall out of your chair, smacking your head and needing 73 stitches at the Emergency Room. By the way, another set of good posts is the [Classic Posts](http://tinyurl.com/4011) section. Most of them are humorous, but not all–some are classic for other reasons. Hell, there’s even one by Coldfire in there. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by auntnut \* > **Coldfire, mayhaps if you quit sitting on your crown, you won’t feel so grouchy** Nah. I’d feel a lot less grouchy if everyone, newbies included, voiced their criticism of moderators _in the right forum_. I see you’re new here. Complaints about the administration of the SDMB belong in the BBQ Pit: since you are referring to a “crown” of sorts, I’m assuming your remark was addressing my position as a moderator. I made my remarks with no crown whatsoever, by the way. But if you feel it’s worth a Pit thread, knock yourself out. I’m behind in the rankings anyway. ---
