1. Why...uh... no, never, not at all. Why do you ask?
Who told you this? Why are you so interested? I'm insulted.

What are you , some kind of trouble-maker? That's un-American!

5. Nah.
I wrote headlines for a living for 20 years. The first one usually is the best one. Further, there's the risk of screwing up on tries for improvement. :shrug:

6. It's sad how so many around here
put so much stock in how many replies they get. I've even seen someone posts a thread trying to shame all the people who don't reply to his threads. That was beautiful, I'll tell ya whut.
