well, in the short term, these off-topic quips may (or may not) add a bit of levity to a thread. but, in the long term those same posts often seem like speed bumps when trying to navigate and find information about ... tiki.

it's always hard to judge whether being a smart ass is appropriate. i think woofmutt's suggestions, at the very least, are a good rule of thumb.

also, keep in mind that these posts are here for a loooong time. sometimes i shudder when i happen upon old (5+ years) posts that i wrote. 'what was i thinking?' it's one thing to interject w/ an off-topic comment in a verbal conversation - it's another to post something that's recorded for years.
