what about if the thread doesn't have a source or is blatantly biased like most of tony's threads? |

megathreads are kinda stuffty. no deeper discussion can ever be had in it. - you have a computer issue that you dont want anyone to reply to? post it in the computer megathread. - you want people to discuss your issue with you and each other and have the topic never change? make a new topic. |
