Undescribed links and vague OPs remind me that chuckleheads use the library too (e.g., either put the book back _exactly_ where you found it or put it on the shelving cart!). A newbie poster is one thing, but these topics have come up time and again (there’s even a sticky for descriptive OPs) such that anyone whose been around for a short while knows it’s just rude. Oh, and you’re NOT that clever, you’re NOT Cecil, so STOP trying to be witty in your OP. I don’t get why some posters feel the need to correct thread-irrelevant grammar and spelling, but rarely does anyone call an OP on a link or title. Grrrr.

Then again… I do think there’s a lot more flexibility in MPSIMS and IMHO, given the recreational nature of some of the threads.
