I just posted a thread to In My Humble Opinion. I wasn’t paying attention- I meant to post it in MPSIMS. Bad me. Is there any way I can change it, or do I need to email slythe to switch it over? andygirl ---

How strict is it? I just posted this in IMHO: Who’s the youngest here? Do I have to remove it and start over? ---

I just visited your thread [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=34301](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=34301) and I think it actually **belongs** in IMHO. If you really want it in MPSIMS, you can ask **slythe** to move it, I guess. Do not under any circumstances start an identical thread in MPSIMS. Cross-posting is very much frowned upon. ---

Answering your questions in turn: 1. We’re not too strict, depends on the situation. 2. Old enough to know better, how old are you? 3. Are you saying “Et tu” and “andygirl” are one and the same? If so, we need to talk. your humble TubaDiva Administrator ---

I don’t think that’s what is being said. I think this is the thread that **andygirl** was referring to and wanted moved. [The joys of lesbian dating](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=34296). I think **Et tu** just thought it might apply to his thread, too. Jim ---

You took the name of my thread as a question about YOUR age. Actually, the thread was about MY turning 25 this week, a topic which I belatedly realized was not an opinion poll, but an “mpsim”, and might have to be moved. Here’s what I said: > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Et tu \* > \*\*How strict is it? > I just posted this in IMHO: Who’s the youngest here? > Do I have to remove it and start over? \*\* Here’s how to read it the way I meant it: > [@](#): > > \*\*How strict is it? > I [a different user from andygirl] just posted this[different thread] in IMHO: > [the name of the thread is:] **[Who’s the youngest person here?](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=34301)** > Do I have to remove it [my thread, not andygirl’s] and start over? \*\* I certainly meant no offense, because I wasn’t asking about your age at all. (I don’t care about your age, knowing nothing about you, and would be too polite to ask, anyway.) I hope that makes it clear.
