**Ethelrist** ’s link didn’t work…

And **Inigo Montoya** ’s thread was, in fact, too stupid to live. **Marley23** did exactly the right thing.

I’ve always liked _ **Inigo Montoya** _ (in fact, whenever our church makes us wear those “HELLO! MY NAME IS:” nametags, I write his name after that line).

But now I like _ **Marley23** _ even more.

Yes. Agreed. I’m glad those kinds of threads get closed (or shuttled to The Game Room) nowadays.
