Well the "Gluten Free" label proves that the fad followers don't know what gluten is. Should oranges and bananas also be labelled "Gluten free" to facilitate this fad.

Oh, I agree with you 100% on that. Most of the labels you see is all hype and marketing crap to appeal to the lowest common denominator.

I bought an antenna once that contained the following warning: Do not throw antenna at spouse.
I saw a warning sticker on a piece of exercise equipment that read: Warning. Misuse of this product can result in severe injury, death, or both. So if I die, would I care if I were also severely injured?

That's not a warning.
And it's also why I don't buy Stalin brand lawnmowers.

I was wrong.
A question, asked.
A quick google done.
A link to the google search, a link to the top hit (which explains what to do and gives the exact code on SO), and a quick-but-polite "please google first" message.
The response?
"Give me source Please...."
Not only too lazy to Google.
Too lazy to click a link...

Well on SO, your answer would probably have been deleted before he read it at all for being link-only (because all links eventually rot and become worthless). 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Which is stupid. Sure, delete it if the link is dead - but otherwise to answer the question I'd have to copy'n'paste it from someone else - and then provide a link to the source to avoid plagiarism!
Mind you, SO is pretty stupid at the best of times: a cliquey bunch of rep obsessed geeks that really don't like being corrected. Or is that us? Hmmm...

That's exactly what SO would want you to do. It probably doesn't matter much here because I don't think I've ever seen a QA post in a Google search (and don't think I've seen anything from CP's programming forums in many years either); but Google likes stack overflow content, and when posts from years ago still turn up in searches making sure all the content will remain usable over the long term is an entirely reasonable objective there.

...is that I had to call one out this morning at 7.50am.
I got to work and some R Sole had superglued the locks.
I initially thought that one of our less than gruntled employees had done it, but it seemed unlikely.
Perhaps a supplier or sub-contractor, but we have paid everyone.
I suppose it could just be a random twat, but why only us and no-one else in the street?
I think we will never know!

I can think of 10,744,520 potential suspects, but does anyone on here know where your office is?
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

Ok, I thought the number you gave was the number of CP members, but ~400 members were kicked off just in a few seconds?  Currently it's 10,744,095.

IIRC the number is cached, do the different web servers not share a common value for it.

Not me either - I was miles away at the time.
And I got witnesses, officer! When do you want 'em for?
