I propose a new rule for copycat threads.
I want this pinned to the top of the Lounge page.

"When posting a 'copycat' thread, a link to the original thread should be included."

Thank you mods.
;-)

2. Aw, some are quite clever. Others suck.
I think we should start grading them.
On a scale of 1 to 10.
10 being 'AWESOME!'

Just reply with a number.

8. Well, it's just that the original sometimes gets buried.
Then I have no idea what they're cc-ing.
It could be a 10, but without seeing the original I have no idea.
LET'S GET THIS DAMN THING ORGANIZED!

10. I think the original thread of the copycat deserves an automatic 10 points
:D

11. Ordinarily I'd go along with anything you say, but...
sometimes the first copycat is really lame.
