I tell my crews the only stupid question is the one you should have asked and did not. However, there is no shortage of stupid answers.

This is not about censorship..it's about protecting others from a total post flood and BS invasion.

I do not need protecting. Give people credit for knowing the difference between S-- and Shinola.

There is room for everyone here, and the pro and con are equal in necessity for a good arguement.

I am confident that things will settle out over time.

I didn't know what shinola was until Steve Martin did "The Jerk" movie.
Does any one else know what it is? (Hi-jacking)

Okay guys. Anyone can point out a problem. What is your solution?

Your argument that I have been a member 2 months is irrelevant.
