Because it has to get done, and no-one else is doing it.

How?

Cudos to the Mod who _didn’t_ close this.  
Some Mods understand the spirit of the SDMB.  
Other mods don’t… but there is still hope for them

There’s probably little hope for me, then, but I can live with that.

**Lobsang** , you’ve been told before to stop with these pointless threads, so please take this as a warning to stop treating the SDMB like your personal blog. None of the fora–even this one–are meant for every little thing that pops in your head. Again, if you just want to post random thoughts, please contribute to a LiveJournal or Blogger account.
