Too many posters think they are being funny or witty. ---

I’ll put my location in my posts if it’s relevant (Tucson, AZ, if you must know). Otherwise, I have a joke location in my profile. But if I don’t say where I am, it doesn’t make a difference. If you really want to know, why don’t you just ask? ---

Anyway, 39.0483 N, 95.6778 W. Is that close enough? Now go back under your bridge panache. ---

Well to be fair, that was pretty absurd. I just went to check it. Why would it be considered spam to mention the name of it? What would be the point of Cafe Society then? “Hey I saw a cool movie. I can’t mention the name of it though because I don’t want to seem like a shill. But it was great! Share all your great film stories here.” ---
