What is funny to me is that people who are "tired of beating the dead horse" feel the need to whine about it. If you're tired of it, why did you even open the thread? = illogical.
Unless the purpose was to use the dead horse graphic. That is a good reason; pretty entertaining. Looking back, I see that JSWolf has been here 4 years and has nearly 20,000 posts. I would venture to guess that most topics in the general forum here are 'dead horses to him'. How about some patience for the relative noobs such as myself?
On the other hand, Sweetpea has nearly 19,000 posts, but did not rip into me. (thanks Sweetpea)
