I don’t know, but it seems you guys are providing thread titles that would receive few _positive_ responses. Lord knows the Teeming Millions have an opinion to share on _almost anything_. And frighteningly enough, threads about infected body parts and unhealthy secretions tend to be quite popular, at least by the ones who start them and a small group of digital rubberneckers. Fortunately for the ones who have to check all content, often links to glorious pictures are provided. :rolleyes: I **wish** they got 0 replies. Trust me. ---
