I just got so caught up in the moment! I would have gotten away with it too, if it hadn't been for those darn meddling kids and that ...

You dislike and contest the format, but so far you've participated in 2 of the new My Growth Rings threads that I created. Isn't that a double standard? A bit hypocritical almost?
