I simply suggested that he pick better subjects. I don't consider it "funny" to read a "You fooled me that time" type of post. Others agreed. All that was done was to ask him to change the subject to be more meaningful. No threatened action if he didn't. _just_ a request. Talk about Dan's "tempest in a teapot", or "mountain out of a molehill"... lots of outrage and dissatisfaction over _nothing_ since _nothing_ was done.
