[QUOTE=TLDRIDKJKLOLFTW] If this is how it’s going to be, then I’m going to go schizophrenic and have TLDR be one person who posts long shit, IDK be another who’s an idiot and never knows the answer, JKLOL to only post in MPSIMS, and FTW will be the real me.

[QUOTE=Frank] In fairness to **TLDR** , he is, in this case, exactly half right. We do discourage others (family, friends, ferrets) posting under a member’s account. The half wrong part is that the usual response, as noted above, is a mild reminder of policy, not the guillotine. [/QUOTE] Does this include cats? I’m totally on board with the ferret posting ban as they are kinda crazy. But, if it includes cats, well mister, that’s just crazy talk. My kitty could write a better thought out, more well reasoned post than the OP with one paw tied behind her back. 😉 I do have a legit question about this rule, though. My sister is a parole officer. If we had a question in GQ about parole, why would it be ok for me to take dictation but not ok for the expert herself to type the post? (provided of course it was a one time thing and not trying to get a two for the price of one type situation. Or did I just answer my own question there? It’s easier to just make a blanket rule than start counting how many times “so and so’s spouse” posted under her username.) ---

_Excuse me for a moment while I turn over the keyboard to my dog, Biscotti._ Biscotti writes: **TLDRIDKJKLOLFTW** , I’m going to share something with you that my mom says to me all the time when I’m sticking my nose somewhere that it doesn’t belong. **Everything is not your business.** I bolded it and upsized it because sometimes she yells.
