"Starting a thread about the color of my toothbrush..."

As for example seeking the words of the song?:

"I'm a pink toothbrush, you're a blue toothbrush.
Have we met somewhere before..."

I'm with Doug in this - it happens every now and again, and more often than you'd think. And as well as the ill mannered posts, I also think it's quite appropriate, and no interference with free speech, for Joe and Co to stomp on the posts that consist of lengthy articles lifted from elsewhere, when a link to the place they were found, with a summary or quote, is much more satisfactory and easier to read. That is regardless of whether I agree with the sense of the article involved or not.
