Are growing problems a rhetorical QUestion? Sure they are. Do I give a flying fuck? Not very. Is this going to make me look like a Spawoid? Probably. Do I care? Your guess is as good as mine; I forgot the question.

I need to ask a question. Is this the thread where I do that, or were you just asking if we need a thread for this purpose and then one can be opened?

You know, I did this nice little drawing of an anchovy, and the thread/mudcat wouldn't let me post it, probably cause I used a mark that is used in HTML. Where is the justice!?

Must be something in Bob's anchovies that Internet Explorer doesn't like. I can see them using Opera, but not IE. Is that a question?

Well. I don't see them on 4:41 & 4:44. Must be Safari...
First thing that came up was I used this mark: <, and another to draw the tail. Then it got me thinking CENSORSHIP! Not on Mudcat! It would be like telling me I can't wear my underwear on the outside of my pants, like Britney! Not that I wear my underwear on the outside of my pants, mind you. But if I FELT like it!
