The fact that you can’t answer it proves that it is in fact the opposite of a silly question.
Oh, well, if you must know, I happen to have a former Fo, now friend (who shall remain nameless), who is very strict about sticking to the OP’s rules. He has programmed the Brain Wave/Internet Post Dissonance Detector (patent pending), a brilliant bit of software that can detect when your post matches what your brain knows. He has uploaded it secretly into the forum code and notifies me every time someone violates the rules of my threads.
Don’t you wish you had such an ally?
