Status: offline 		      I have to disagree, LadyE.  It is alive and well, but the recent invasion of continuous posters who think 100 is a perfect score on the IQ test (and nobody's perfect) have changed the game a bit.

     I suggest a visit to the latest incarnation of the party cruise. Blocking anyone who posts often there will clear your screen of drivel in most other threads as well.

Remember, if 100 is the average IQ score, the bell curve suggests that half the people you meet on the street have an IQ less than 100.

Wiki? C'mon now, Everyone knows that site can be edited by anyone.
I do not accept links as proof of anything. I want a Fed Exed notorized photocopy of the actual documents supporting another's view. If you can't produce that, you may as well just shush up, cuz your facts are useless.

Seems what is good for the goose is not good for the gander around here. I shouldn't really be surprised tho, it's that gang mentality you all have when you get together.

Um, ok....use them all you want.  Unleash a giant puff army into the CM world if you like, doesn't matter to me.  Throw in a legion of dancing bananas while your at it.  Does anyone actually have a beef against the fluffies or was that just an extreme exaggeration?

I can't throw in the dancing bananas. Gauge would slap me silly. He hates them.
