There are serious threads and there are silly threads, and it would be nice of the funster bunch to show a bit of respect and let us earnest types have a serious discussion once in a while. It's only polite.
Let he who is without frivolous posts (which data are available via the searchable web archive) cast the first flame.
Oh, I can be frivolous, I don't deny it. I can even be frivolous and deadly serious at the same time (as indeed can you, 'Dave'). But there's a difference between a frivolous footnote to a serious conversation and a serious attempt to turn a serious conversation into a frivolous one.
So you don't like to feel you're being gagged? Fair enough. Neither do I.
