Call it what you want but you were making a joke without thinking it through.

The timing is obvious if you think about it. By making the start day February 14th it won't be interrupted....it will either start...or not.

Yes, making a joke. Lighten up, Francis.

Look who's talking. I put up a post joking about a contest and you make a smug response with false assumptions. I expected joking responses like the one posted by HHH. Seriously, it's too early in the morning to be wound that tight. Let's move on.

By the way, I'm hearing a deal may actually be announced today. I'm holding my breath in anticipation.

Oh, I get it, you don't like it that I pointed out why there was a February 14th deadline, so you drag out the tired " lighten up Francis " line.

If you don't like that people respond to your posts, whether you are joking or serious, I don't understand why you post.

You were right, however, I wasn't specifically responding to you with my general comments. And, for what it's worth, I'm also a big fan of " Stripes. "

Well, at least we have that in common.

Hey, of course I expect responses to posts(mine or others). I was just trying to clarify what I felt was a false assumption. I do understand the deadline timing, that's why I was kidding with it. No worries.
