Before I begin I would like thank all of those who have defended me here. I would also like clarify that I was not the one who started the thread about masturbating into the fishtank. However, in regard to the OP, questions do not require a citation. I’ve found that it’s generally not a good idea to provide any more information than is absolutely necessary when asking questions here, as additional superfluous information only serves to increase the probability of off-topic comments in the replies. And for the record, I’ve started a total of 12 threads here in the last four months. At this rate, I seriously doubt I’m pushing a lot of ‘more wanting’ threads off of the front page. Furthermore, the idea that Google represents some sort of panacea where any of your questions can readily be answered is absurd. I’ve used Google on numerous occasions and have found that it is beneficial in resolving only the most straighforward type of questions, and even then it can be quite time-consuming. For example, here is a list of some of my questions that were graciously answered to my satisfaction in the General Questions forum. See how far you would get trying to answer any of them using only Google. Are Animals That Have Been ‘Put To Sleep’ Safe For Human Consumption?

I totally respect one’s right to open threads in GQ, and I am definitely neither pitting nor defending **Surreal** , but this list is, well, nothing short of _surreal_. If that was an attempt to appear mainstream, man … 🙂 ---

Am I Legally Obligated To Get Dressed Before Answering My Door? That’s a fucking brilliant question, and one it would never have occurred to me to ask. Hats off, as far as I’m concerned. ---
