OK guys, I'm locking this thread pending discussion with the other mods.
It's turning into another "Random Postings" thread (which we already have), and contains some objectional posts.
I'm happy to split the thread and join the "Random Posts" to the already existing "Random Posts" thread if this is possible.
I will discuss this with the other moderators, and anyone who wants to input into how this may be done can pm me.
ADDIT: It has now been 5 days since this thread was locked and no one has offered any input as to how they would like to see it managed. So following discussion with the other moderators, this thread will remain permanently locked.
