Yes, sometimes it's very tempting. But then, there's a very select and exclusive contingent who know where the good stuff really is, and tend to hang out there. (You know who you are.)
@davidrmoran - The Off-Topic posts are not allowed to appear anywhere other than the actual OT section. This was a compromise that David made some years ago, when there were a fair number of complaints from posters who did not want to see any OT stu…
