Seriously, those of you looking for a board that has moderators who wipe noses and bottoms should have shoved off a helluva long time ago.

For all my faults, I've been pretty consistently clear on that point.

For whatever reason, most of you have continued to hang around here despite manifest evidence that your presence is generally annoying, unwelcome, and unrelated to the magazine's purpose. The persistence is certainly a testament to something - either extreme dim-wittedness or a commitment to some idiosyncratic value you derive from this place.

For those of you who find something to cherish here, even if it's just the habit and the company, pull it together and act like adults. For those of you who are batshit insane, I really have no advice. And for those of you who expect something better from a forum - take charge of your life, spend a couple minutes on Google, and go find it.
