Did I just willingly give up the offer of an extra ticket to the symphony tonight, suggesting one of my kids go instead, only to find out it was such a phenomenal concert that they actually had an encore (almost never happens at the CSO) at the end of the FIRST half of the program?

That makes no sense, does everyone else on the highway that watches a speeder go by get a ticket too? Why is my lack of enforcement worthy of punishment?

Shouldn’t the analogy be more like the purchasers of stolen goods? And weren’t you even aware of the illegal nature of the posts? Yet you decided to encourage this sort of anti-thread behavior anyway?
