And notice it's usually the most dubious and poorly
thought-out positions that come all dressed up?
At least we don't have to suffer the pretentious gits who
used to post all in lower case anymore. I guess they grew up

It's amazing, on a list that celebrates hard-boiled fiction,

they have to "girly" up their posts with colour and different
typefaces and the like.
