    not necessarily though? i mean, fair enough if people bothered to question those who use it a little before mounting their little soap-box. but i do get the impression a lot of people are just looking for the first opportunity to pounce on others and spank them for using it.

    put me in the 'it's annoying and rude' camp, i guess. i literally picture the tone-spankers policing the world with little yellow flyswatters under their arms.

    I got really toned arms by flyswatting an hour a day for 4 weeks.
