Xmas you are so right. I understand why they do it, I guess I just wish they didn't have to.
I remember a time when you could have a laugh around here and be a bit outrageous without having to explain yourself and make disclaimers left, right and centre.
Sometimes I think everyone theses days on MN has had some essential part of their brain removed, the bit that gets irony and daftness.
(That's me being lighthearted again.)
