This post is abusive, flamebait and does not address the question.

Flag it, don't announce that you flagged it, hope that everyone else shows the same restraint so that when it dies none of the conversation goes with it or stays behind to boggle the masses.

A $200 used thinkpad that could compete with a 2 ghz macbook? WHERE!? TELL ME WHERE YOU LAME, SARCASTIC LITTLE FUCKER OR I'LL TEAR OUT YOUR SPLEEN THROUGH BOTH YOUR FUCKING EARS.

You flagged it. Then you announced that you'd flagged it. Then you opened a MeTa thread.
