When I first saw this thread I thought "Don't people ever read these things?" But you're right - it wasn't stickied, and I do come here every single day and read every single thread, so what was obvious to me might easily have been missed by somebody else.
On the other hand, when something like this happens it's so much fun to join in the finger-jabbing and joking.
So, on the one hand I apologize, but on the other I still say
