How could any of us escape that fate, considering that we live in an insane world?

I donāt think that works. I think it only blocks notification messages. I tried it out on Mindy earlier today, and experimentally, thatās the way it seems to go-- I could still see all her messages. It may be a non-issue, for me anyway; I have a Greasemonkey script that blocks the way I want, but it does not block quoted replies. I recently got an auto-update to Firefox, and that seems to be what broke the script. Iāll poke at it tomorrow.

Didnāt I suspect you were going to do that? Isnāt that a bit like reading the man pages?

Oh jeez, donāt get me started! Oops! Too late! 
Berg has some nice stuff, and I like a lot of their designs. They have an over-and-under bed set that I wish Iād thought of. But theyāre charging $3-4k for particle board and veneer! Some of itās even plastic veneer!
There are hundreds of small craftspeople out there who will happily build you custom pieces, from real wood, for what these folks charge. Certainly I canāt blame them; the market obviously is keeping them in business. Same with Ikea. But itās crap furniture. The stuff I build-- as a garage craftsman, but I make money doing it, and there are thousands like me-- will be there for the RatKidsā children (and quite possibly, their kids!) to live in, if they want it to.
Handmade real wood furniture has value far beyond the money you spend on it.

Is @OtherMichael an evil, evil man for starting this ā¦ thingā¦ 19,500 questions ago?
Someday-- and perhaps that day may never come-- but wonāt I continue to wait for it? But someday, somedayā¦ am I going to get the opportunity to Donald him, and will it give me such joy? Does that hope keep me warm, sometimes?

Donāt you just have to call him out when he makes lazy parenthetical statements, or throws a horizontal line in and then goes on a rant? Isnāt it just a matter of hitting him when heās weak?

Partial victory is not good enough for me in this case, is it? But is not my picture in the dictionary under āpatienceā?

How is that partial? Isnāt the thread supposed to be questions, and doesnāt @OtherMichael at least know when heās having an off day and try to cover it under some sort of rules minutia?
Do you have any idea what could happen if he just made a statement in the thread without some sort of caveat? Mightnāt the whole thing just implode at that point?

Am I not hoping that the 50,000th message will be some kind of amazing autodestruct? Or better yet, the 49,999th message, because wonāt that leave us feeling oddly incomplete?
