In general I agree with AKSAR on the s/n ratio in some threads; I try to avoid those threads. Even topics in the "Around the Campfire" forum need to adhere to basic forum rules. Some threads need to be put out of their misery sooner rather than letting them die a lingering death. Better would be for members to not post in the thread and let it die quickly on its own. Best would be to not start the thread. But some folks think that if they read it on the internet it must be true, so they share it here.

Along with the propaganda from the "mainstream media", there are sites like The Onion, "AMERICA'S FINEST NEWS SOURCE", if you like total BS and sarcasm masquerading as news. No Billy, you cannot believe everything you read on the web.
