> [@](#): > > We are trying to trim the fat around here. And yet another arrow aimed at the heart of the big-boned, non slim-and-sleek members of the board. Really, **Alpha** , I’ve come to expect better of you! You could have said, trim the; (un-necessary; incomprehensible; un-readable; childish; innane; foolish; useless; taker-of-valuable-wavelength-stupid-shit …Etc.) But Nooo …had to say _fat_, dintcha? Oh, well. Guess your only human after all. ---

Actually, I _hate_ everybody. Don’t worry 'bout it. Ya gotta remember when making “obscure pop cultural references” that, I’m an old fart; I simply don’t understand them. If you had made additional clarification, I may not have locked your stupid thread. Of course, that’s no guarantee of that, though. ---
