Saw the same predicament in an episode of Ray Romano's sitcom last week. Thought it was funny until I had to struggle with it myself - thank goodness for paper cutter knives.

Wow... pointless response whiskey. :| Just to jog your memory, OT means Off Topic, and once a post is Off Topic the question of degree simply doesn't arise. Like, who else cares? Sometimes it is fun to cut loose and just drift a little. You should try it one day, it might relieve your frustrations about posters not observing your rules.:D

277396 2004-10-02 04:53:00 Coming from that man that hasn't contributed a single thing since arriving your comments hardly carry any weight,why don't you go back to stroking over how much you make an hour and critising others. metla (154)
277397 2004-10-02 05:09:00 Don't lower the tone Metla, however, you should follow your own advice.;) If you pull any harder the end might fly right off. :D

There's no point in attacking me for my input either, I freely acknowledge that I am poorly qualified to offer technical advice, and I come here to learn. My assessment still stands, nothing in your behaviour leads me to believe I called it wrong.
