Are we perhaps missing a photo or link? Or is this the "Discuss the Acronym" thread?

From the look of some entries in a couple of recent threads, cabin-fever is settling in early this year. Sooo, maybe if one needs to vent, this thread's as good a place as any to do it. Maybe the normal threads will be tamer as a result? I dunno. Worth a try.

Coming across an argument in the middle of a great thread ruins it for me every time, you know? There's enough drama on tv

C'mon... Tell me it ain't so! I don't believe I've ever witnessed any of that kind of behavior here in C&V.
