I seriously cannot decide.
I find some of the answers to the questions amazing. But there is alot of dribble on there meaning Questions like the following "Are the bathrooms clean in Iowa or do you all have outhouses?"
Not sure? Other opinions about and opinion site?
Probably just the normal reaction, to the normal intelligence of people on them there interwebs.

Just ignore it. It's not relevant enough that you have to care.

As Piebald already stated: What the f*** is that?
Or maybe it comes under the "Don't give a flying hoot" option?

I'm a little late to this question! I enjoy contributing answers and I browse other people's answers, occasionally there's a diamond in all the noise that makes it worth while.

Almost done building a custom UI scripting engine...
Downside - it was a pain in the ass.
Upside - cut a full-day process down to 20-25 minutes (depending on speed of target web site).
I had to access a proprietary database that has no public-facing web service/access method, and to make matters worse, the web page was being rendered through Flash, so I couldn't just scrape the html for the data. Instead, I had to build a scripting engine that clicks the mouse, manipulates windows, and looks for visual screen changes, all without knowing what the end-user's screen resolution is going to be... Part of the process involved saving the data as XLS fles that I can then load/manipulate with regular code.

Because.

Jeez' Mary mudder of Chris! I was up at 5, meetings in London all morning, lunch with Sexy Lady [aka Mrs Wife] and then home in time for the school run. I would love to fall into the clutches of Mothers' Ruin, but I have a meeting this evening.
I'm shattered AND I missed the spam game.

There's still a couple of messages three and four threads down ("Seven years after...") which are begging to be hit with the Spam hammer.
