:bee: hey I am not a mole! I am just a simple newbee keeper :mrgreen: :bee:
Beedog,
OBVIOUSLY, neither I, nor anyone else on this forum, thinks you're a mole. :laugh:
I thought my use of the laughing and grinning emoticons made it more that clear to everyone, including you, that I was simply emphasizing how absurd and ridiculous I felt som peoples reluctance to participate in your poll struct me.
I thought your use of emoticons above signaled that you fully "got that" and were playing along with the fun in which it was intended....
If I misread that, and you thought that I was in the least bit serious in any way...you have my sincere apology!
buzzbee's and TBeek's advice of taking some comments with a grain, or even a block of salt is good solid advice. While as buzzbee explained, certain conversations are reserved for the "coffee house" I think it's probably impossible to keep them totally quarantined there without a certain amount of seepage bleeding into other areas and conversations on the forum. Therefore, many comments made throughout the entire forum are often made tongue-in-cheek and simply in good fun. :)
