Peter- there's no fighting the premise here! You have a keen mind, so I'm
surprised this phenomenon doesn't trouble you more. Here's an example:
Thread- name your favorite player named "Mickey", other than Mantle...
Response- How about Mickey Stanley?
Response 2- Did you read what Paul Stanley of Kiss, recently said about the
other band members during an interview?
Response 3- I didn't care for Kiss, too much makeup.
Response 4- How about Mickey Rivers?
Response 5- Did anyone really like Three Rivers Stadium?
Response 6- I like Mickey Mantle!
See what I mean? Does this really need to happen? Of course not. My
thread was definitely done in jest, but I still suggest people use it. After all,
you wouldn't want me to respond to your next thread about baseball, with
questions or trivia about the Iditarod, right?
Nicedocter- I know the tendency of which you speak. My friends called that
"Twitter muscles", a term I find apt. The vast majority of folks here don't
cross that low rent line, thank goodness.
