it's our code for a spam post. The powers that be search for the word and if you call it out, they will find it, delete it, track down the creator, and add to margie's porch

Because it is a word that is unlikely to show up in normal conversation here. FWIW, it is more effective now days to use the exclamation button or email a staff member

true.. but finding new and creative uses for the word "canoe" is more fun

I wouldn't debate which is more fun. There are lots of creative things to do with canoes.

But if there's spam and you'd like to see it removed, sending me a note is the quickest way.

Margie's patio is going to be converted into a skid pad one of these days.

its ok, we hug all poster's. I was the same way until i just started posting more and more. The crowd on here is alot more understanding, forgiving, knowledgeable, nice than any other car site ive ever been on. You could be an ex-F1 engineer, or just a dude with a 10mm wrench to your name, it doesnt matter, you'll fit in fine.... as long as you dont sell me a pair of Nikes and an iPhone for cheap

It's a small boat that two people paddle, but that's not important right now.
