I’m not exactly sure what an episodic table looks like, do you know? ---

I don’t know; what do you think? ---

Boy, wouldn’t you say there’s an awful lot of doubt and uncertainty expressed on this thread? Can’t somebody be decisive around here for a change? ---

Seriously, how difficult is it to make up your mind? ---

Doesn’t this particular thread lend itself to doubt and uncertainty? ---
