I am surprised that this is not the most common question in every state: “How the hell do you make the goddam social link tabs blocking the left side of the text go away?” (If those are put there for political reasons, my apologies for the political jab.) ---

> [@Siam\_Sam](#): > > So, who _did_ win the Civil War? Captain America. 😃 Edited to add: while arguably the people asking aren’t thinking along those lines, the questions themselves might genuinely have meaning. If you’re asking the question, say, “Who won the Civil War?” then at least you’re looking at an interesting debate. Now I really want to start some GD threads looking at these. ---
