Yanbu.

What I find more annoying are the disclaimers that people put at the end of the post.

Oh and the pack mentality.

OP what is it you want from posting this thread?
Do you want the whole of mn to go oops yep ya right we must stop doing that immediately because Mardy says so.

You are bright enough to know that will never happen so please if you would be so kind and enlighten me as to the point of your post.

BankWadger · 02/03/2014 23:43

I see it as a diamond with a question mark. My phone must think Japan doesn't exist. (so where did I go a few years back then???????)

Actually, I just wanted to flush Talcy out with one of her amazing emoticon pictures. and besides it never used to happen on a regular basis, so I wanted to lament the decline in MN standards. And yes, I have imbibed.
