Notice the numbers of the threads - they were posted in quite the spammy succession.

Another "Ask a" thread.
Fass, that's being awfully anal about it. We're not here to stop discussion, just spam. The fact that Klonor based it on earlier "Ask a ..." threads doesn't make it spam, any more than putting chopped soybeans into an empty Hormel can makes them "SPAM brand genuine artificial imitation meat byproduct substitute".

The Sel Appa series of "let's create spam threads to prevent spam thread from being created" threads have been closed, except for the one that has live debate in it.

Fass, that's being awfully anal about it.

Him writing with "hidden" white text (highlight the seemingly skipped line below the title) "Also Known As: Ask a Jew (Take Four!)" sort of makes it an "Ask a" thread.

Or, do you still consider it anal to think it's an "ask a" thread when even the thread starter considers it an "ask a" thread and names it so? Because, you know, I sort of don't.
