Good suggestion to the members - it is best when we can try to add value as well as have fun. At the same time, we should keep in mind what has made this forum a success - good info mixed with good fun. I have frequented a number of forums, including many who have the "mostly serious" rule in place. They are very different forums - most quite quality - who lack the sense of friendship and community you see here.

Anyway, a request to tone down the jokes is fine. I admit to having indulged the Mad Scientist a bit too much from time to time - including an obsession with adding pics to my posts. But I would recommend we not ask the mods to step in and suppress them. Doing so would remove much of what brings in and keeps people here in the first place.

Just my two cents.

Here, here...I second that one. Sometime you just hit that area, my old boss when I was an Air Force programmer, called the gigglebyte, and well you just kinda spout off. Ok, sure it may not be eactly on topic, hell may even be way out in left field, but hey, if you don't want to read it, don't. But then guess cuz I do all my reading here at work on my breaks, or at home(both are boardband, sometimes home is alot faster too!!) it doesn't bother me if something is not on topic, or if the whole thread has snapped and we are back to talking about aliens(btw..got to be careful about that in my neck of the woods, too many illeagle aliens here, damn Venusians), but its all good man. I love the laid back atmosphere here!! Thread cops...thread cops...we don't need not stinking thread cops!! As Mork once said..."Fly, be free..." as he toss an egg up, sometimes your bother just bites the big one.

Did that all make sense?? No, oh well...if yes, then you too have hit the gigglebyte like me.
