I think we should sell tickets to a Friday night bare knuckles fight, and hire Don King to promote it too.

Wasn't the point of changing the MeTa front page to only display the 5 most recent posts to avoid posts like this?

?! and Interrobang don't especially appear to be the same person, and if they were, so what? Is there a point, or is this just the kind of thread that Miguel used to(still does?) get chewed out for?

This has already been discussed. Like most superhero fights, we had to knock each other around for a little while before realizing that we were on the same side.

Is THAT why MetaTalk's been chopped to the five most recent new threads on its front page? Whose brilliant idea was that? And how can I start a campaign to get that undone cuz it's been annoying the crap outta me.

Matt's. It was the only way to make people think twice before posting new threads on MetaTalk. NOT very effective, yet, but who knows. With 15k+ users, he's got to do something to keep MetaTalk from becoming
Meta-Here's what I had for Breakfast-Talk

Su, you are right. This thread was a mistake, it shouldn't have been posted. I am sorry.
