We should not be doing this. Folks come to this forum to learn about how to interact here and use the coding. Then there are always the complaints about this or that moderator, this or that policy. This is a useful forum, but now we turn that ideal into a bad joke. I am angry at the regular posters who have chosen to keep this thread going, but mostly I am mad at myself. We should ALL know better. Now newbies are going to come here and be afraid to post their tests because we are going to twist it all around for cheap laughs. Newbies will think all we care about is being silly instead of fighting ignorance. Dammit, we are better than that. So much better. Grr… What the hell were you all thinking? What was I thinking? This makes me sick to my stomach. Sorry. Just testing the “Pissed” feature. ---

I predict maybe a few more bad jokes and then, alas, this thread will simply drop down the page and soon disappear with all our humerous comments long forgotten. Sorry. Just guessing these posts’ future.
