    It's almost as good as Immoral_Angel's thread a while back that she posted by mistake. IA changed the thread title to "Ignore", which obviously meant that everyone had to come and have a look to see what it was that they were supposed to ignore.:rotfl:

    The thread went on for most of the day know. :rotfl:

    People don't just come here for advice, but support as well.
    So this is me supporting the supporters that don't think pointless threads are pointless, even if the pointless threads are to highlight the pointlessness of pointless threads that are eithier fun or support. That said, i'm not supporting the supporters of pointless threads such as this one - because that would be pointless; in a nonsupportive but supportive way.

    Your point being? :rotfl:
