As we say in Deep East Texas, "tain't no thang" my brother. The moderation on this site is light but rigorous, if that makes sense, and we're playing to an international crowd, so things that seem one way may not be, in point of fact, that way at all.

I beat that pony myself, thinking to, ahem, skirt by the "no politics" requirements, to no greater avail than you had.

Ever forward, that's my motto.
