When you planned this particular rant, wouldn’t it have been nice to, say, Ask the Excellent Ranter? Shit, that’s a question. Sorry… Sili * * * Originator of 0 “Ask The…” threads ---

The good news is, this trend seems to be dying out. The bad news is, it looks like it’s being replaced with the equally annoying “check in” threads. Sigh. ---

Geez, deny us the ONE STINKING “Ask the…” thread that I actually NEED. (“Ask the Tech Chick.”) What? You don’t want to spend all your leisure time answering techno-impaired posters’ questions? At least Esprix was FORTHCOMING with all his gay knowledge. And, for the record, if anyone wants to ask the heterosexual housewife anything, I’m here for you. (Hint: 90% of the time, the answer is: “Try Clorox”) ---

Gee, I feel sorta bad cause I started the “Ask the Hired Killer” thread. Still, pest control is something that I have experience and expertise in, and something just about everyone might need at some time. Am I off the hook, **techchick**?
