</div>

a lot of you have violated one of the very basic rules:

[QUOTE=the OP of every feud for the last two years or more]  
**Formatting rules:**  
To make semi-automated scoring possible, and my job easier, make you post look exactly like this:

1. answer
2. answer
3. answer
4. answer

No double spacing, no smilies, no “list” function, no urls, no periods, no quote marks, and no punctuation if it is not necessary. Put “pass” if you want to leave an answer blank. If you feel you must qualify your answer, do it AFTER THE LIST!  
If you don’t format like this, your answers might be DISQUALIFIED.  
[/QUOTE]

Would it help to repost the same entry all cleaned up, **DoloresGreatMercifulOneReborn**?

5: This one was a toughie… That’s the only thing I could think of, and only after a lot of thought.  
8: If there’s anywhere this answer will work, it’s around here.  
9: There’s a song with that title, not just a band, right?  
This was a fun one. Quirky, but it didn’t really require special knowledge.
