How does whining not qualify as fixing the problem?

But only one of us has to do it, and the post the real link. That takes
almost zero effort and benefits everyone else on the list and reading
the list in decades to come.

Also, BAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.

No hon, I just grabbed it from the HTML I posted. How much cred have I
