@ariel82 hmm sorry am i stupid or did you just ask this question so you could rant
I agree...all your OP's purposes are for others to talk about them - never to rant.
People may have a different view but I would never say there is any malice in any of your OP's. They always are for our good in your mind - of that I am fully persuaded.
