Color me surprised!! I didn’t think my somewhat snarky response to an incredibly dopey original post in the pit would lead to the closing of the thread. Maybe I should have added a couple of Fuck you’s. Live and learn, I’ve been Bodonied :dubious:

You had nothing to do with the closing. At all. **Lynn** was just answering your question. The imminent closing of _this_ thread, however…all you.

Because she was answering YOUR question?

You: “What is being pitted here?”  
Lynn: “He’s drunk”.

See? 😛

Oops sorry for the confusion, it would have been clearer if she had quoted the post above mine then.
