[QUOTE="IdesOfMarch01, post: 2254401, member: 39084"]Most of the collectors here do that once in a while, so for the most part "no harm no foul" as the sportscasters would say. But in a broader perspective (and I realize I might be a minority of one here), these kinds of posts -- egregiously off-topic ones made simply in an attempt to be humorous -- have become so prevalent lately that many threads are being rendered unreadable. Scrolling past a dozen or more recent posts to find actual coin-related content simply isn't very rewarding -- especially inasmuch as what passes for humor in many cases is repetitive, tiresome, and juvenile. The (rare) funny and original posts stand out like gems, and I'm not suggesting that this site try to censor all attempts at humor. But my observation is that most of the non-coin posts contain about as much humor as breaking wind contains [I]L'air du Temps ([/I]a perfume, in case you're unfamiliar with it). A little more self-restraint and objective judgment about the quality of one's humor in a post might be the solution.[/QUOTE]
