As you can see from my posting history I've been here for about 5-6 months. Haven't had that link pasted to me yet. Oh well, there's a first time for everything :-)

It's very dangerous to parrot rules "because they're the rules". That's how totalitarian systems are built. I'm not saying this rule is, but many rules are nonsensical, destructive and limiting. I don't suggest you go on a crusade to question every rule, but at the same time, don't become a holy crusader for rules you don't even care about. The next thing you know, you might be telling some people to stick on a yellow star so that they don't hear it from the bad guys with guns who might beat them up. (woops, Godwin's law. Discussion ended).

Interesting that someone edited my post above and removed the "Daniel" forcibly.

Yes, you have had that link pasted to you. By me.

When you sign your posts. you waste time of people who read them. Your alleged free-thinking and anti-totalitarianism wastes others' time, for no reason. Think about that.
