[QUOTE="Henry, post: 2579658, member: 158"] If you want to start one, go ahead, but I prefer it stays in Meta, so we can keep threads where they belong topically. I'll add that I'm still unclear why there is so much animosity whenever ANY subject (not just this one) shows up in more than one thread. If something ain't my cup of tea (and after I've checked it for rule-breaking) then I ignore it. There's a METRIC :):):):)LOAD of threads here whose topics I have NO interest in, yet they keep popping up, and I keep ignoring them and replying to the stuff that DOES interest me. The Community DIRECTLY controls what the popular topics on the boards are. If you aren't interested in something, you are hurting your cause by joining in a chorus of people who dislike it - you are in fact pushing the topic further up the public mindset, instead of starting or replying to topics you DO like, and drowning out the stuff you don't by ignoring it! Like Smokey the Bear says, [I]"Only YOU can prevent forest fires."[/I] :) [/QUOTE]
