This is why I post anything that I need opinions on in here. OT is a sh!thole, and I never post something there that I worry about going back to read. Or I post so late that I know who is going to be on that late and will get their feedback, and the thread dies off by morning when the normal morons get there. And it has gotten to the point that you can predict with a fair amount of accuracy what the replies will be to any post, as it is the same crap over and over and over and over, ad naseum.
I'm especially sorry to see you leave DC because of ATOT. Next time (as I hope there will be), just do a post in here, and start it with "OT:".
