Oh, I don’t know, **RT**. You said in another thread that you have time to post to exactly one message board. Since you won’t be able to post to this one, that frees enough time to… ## Hey! Who threw that! Stop hitting me! I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren’t for you meddling kids! ---

What’s with this “maintenance” stuff? You have to check the oil and change the spark plugs? We’re not as stupid as I look. This is just a scam to take the afternoon off. I got a good mind to cancel my subscription and demand a refund. Maintenance my elbow. * * * A seminar on time travel will be held two weeks ago. ---

[MH: ON] Ok, the need for this thread is done. I’m locking it up. If you want to complain about the flaming folders, go to “About the message board.” You already have lots of company. [MH: OFF] [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/important-message-please-notice/17233.md?page=1)
