How has this particular community learned to deal with this type of behavior?


Usually we talk about waffles... a manifestation of our repressed desires for breakfast.

Perhaps we should just ban the forums and be done with it.


Perhaps the people who don't like what's in the forums should just stop reading them.

I get a chance to be pedantic, yippee! 

A salmon is a trout.

And a trout is a quintet by Schubert.

I think salmon belong to the same family as trout. I do not think it is accurate to say that a salmon is a trout. I believe a cutthroat trout is a salmon though.
