Yes, I was trying to make a joke about how people on here have attempted to justify off-topic articles in a rather roundabout manner when it suits them, as well as how people are often so eager to suck the dicks of the "rockstars" in the industry.

Sorry I missed the sarcasm. Sometimes it's really hard to tell here and in the valley in general.
