Even if there has been some irritation involved, I think this thread has been very entertaining - I wouldn't close it! Besides, I'd much rather have these points made here where they belong than have them seep into other threads that should remain true to their topics. That way, those that become too irritated just have to resist the temptation to read in this one thread.

I haven't seen such creative writing or laughed as much in the Saloon in quite a while.
