Since tax day was this month the question and answers are more relevant today than they were 244 days ago. Then it was only speculation. Now we know. :)
I bet many questions of the past could be answered more knowingly today.
So do you think that people are intentionally looking into the past questions for specific subject matters? I'm only asking because I am still a little ignorant about how this site works. I've never delved into any of the search/toggle buttons, and only look at questions that are current.
I suppose I need to be more careful about posting at 5am. This reminds me of not too long ago when I suggested to some lady on Facebook that if she couldn't get the lyrics of some tune out of her head, lyrics with the phrase "my love's too big for you," then she probably needed to find a guy her love was big enough for... Well, not only did she not "get it" her husband sent an angry reply, "You tryin' to tell me something?"
Well, I immediately got the feeling that I shouldn't be offering personal advice to ladies I don't really know, especially not when I just got up in the middle of the night to use the commode with a web capable device in hand.
Had that couple been down right down the street (or even in the same town) rather than three time zones away, there's a good chance I'd have ended up with a fat lip (or worse).

I corrected this email after reread it and remembered her husband's exact reply. :)

In the light of current knowledge it has become clear that many questions/responses in the past were based on fear of the future. In AA we had an expression: FEAR means False Events Appear Real. FOXNEWS and other "fair & balanced" (haha) news sources wanted to try to instill fear in people's hearts when they knew that doing so was totally unfounded. I am speaking up to add some authority to what was back then just unfounded speculation. :-)

No, I don't drive a "clunker". I'd have to get a gold cart or something like that to qualify.

If you are not doing the same thing as me, how did you come to respond to a question over 240 days old?
