So is Blazing Saddles any good?
😛 It’s OT. I appreciate people giving me honest feedback. Add a little fun randomness and it has the makings of a decent thread. :tup:

Your argument is based on the assumption that she posts these things because she thinks that people care or wants people to care, not because it’s relevant to the discussion. Is that really what you think or am I mis-interpereting?

Fry is right when he says everyone is getting crabby on here. It’s sad to see so many threads close because you guys insist on driving the drama train into threads and filling them with useless bullshit. If **I told newman he was ugly everytime he posted something with substance and** – if everytime zwarbyt posted in General Automotive –I put up a picture of a fat cow – I think it’d get pretty old and annoying after a while.

I can never decide between left and right. I would not want to offend anyone.
I guess I will need to make sure to post with an even number of upper case letters.

1. Ok, so people don’t like it, we asked them to try, and are asking for feedback.
2. Uh, opinions always mattered, especially when they are expressed in a clear manner, not “Classifieds suck, you fucking douchebag.”
3. Meh, I was never a fan of the main page.
4. Yeah, no banners - my fault
5. There are features, but just none of the ones that you want. PS, a lot of them were there before you bitched my ear off for however long to upgrade from pre 3.5 to post 3.5.
6. We get it, you don’t like it.
