And your bump was almost a month after that. And my bump is almost four months after the last post.

Giving this thread a bump in order to ask a question. Is a thread like this pit-worthy?

I ask because the poster doesn’t seem to be aware of the fewer restrictions, shall we say, on those who reply to Pit threads, whereas if the OP had posted in IMHO or MPIMS, I think the boundaries would have been clearer.

So…I did a parody thread on an earlier thread that I found very silly.

I was pretty much lambasted for it.

Love that word, BTW.

Was I out of line to do a parody thread?
