I agree, mostly, with Joe, Jeri, and SRS. I think the caption threads would be better in one thread. I, too, have really grown weary of the copycat inanity and it's been a number of years since it started. Enough is enough!

The auction stuff...well, if it makes money, I guess, but it does seem kind of silly...I don't think it hurts anything, but I'd rather see the auction the way it has been, with more items of note.

There are a couple of people in this thread who are a bit miffed at one another and they are friends of mine whom I care about. I hope everyone will step back and take a short breather and remember it is difficult to understand just how to interpret someone's written words without seeing their facial expressions, etc. to go along with them. I am sure no offence was meant and know both are caring, giving individuals with much to offer this site.
