Looks like every thread I start moving forward will have leading/trailing ellipses.

I love this board because (as a long-time lurker) I appreciate that you guys have game threads. Ever been to eDuck on a game day? Ever been to eDuck on a game day where the Ducks lose? 100 one-post threads complaining about everything you could possibly complain about. It's madness. Everybody creating their own thread to make the same exact point as everybody else is my only real internet message board complaint. So in that regard, this place is great.

Mine was not intended as click bait but I certainly see how it was. I will refine, I did not intend it to be click bait. Click bait does not bother me in the least. Here I will open it just to see if it's something I have a decent response for. With the media, if they have to use click bait it tells me the story is not worth opening so I don't, give me a headline that gets my attention, like the good old days. lol
