very selectively, how you would guys/gurls like it if i generated 500% 
noise on this list by commenting on every person who fails to comply in 
full with hte CoC? you either comply entirel;y or STFU and try force your 
thoughts dopwn others throats, and I could easily generate 499% more noise 
by playing net-cop on all those, including many in this and past threads, 
who dont like top posters but failt to trim their replies to relevant 
segments, I'm sure I'd be attacked and told to go F myself, as usual.
you people only want SELECTIVE enforcement.
