[QUOTE="my2cents, post: 72099, member: 1287"] It appears the term "vanity" has recently become a hot term on this board. I may have inadvertently started the use of the term with this post: [url]http://browncafe.com/forum/showpost.php?p=71732&postcount=21[/url]. If in fact it did, I'm sorry about any controversy it may have caused. I understand the dictionary meaning of the word, although my use of the term was not meant to be derogatory. Moreover, I picked up the term "vanity" from another board I sometimes visit. On that particular board, there is no controversy over the term "vanity." On other message boards I frequent, off-topic subjects like jokes, inspirational quotes, recipes, sports chat, etc, have their own separate section on the board. Personally, I have nothing against people posting these types of threads. In fact, I've occasionally posted on these types of threads myself, although IMO, I believe there should be a separate section on the board for this material. To be completely honest, in the vast majority of my visits to this board, I don't come here to read jokes, talk sports or obtain recipes. If I'm looking to entertain myself, I generally don't do it here. I'm off to someplace else, whether it's cyberspace or not. For example, my own personal vanity issue at the moment is whether I should invest in a satellite radio package. Geez, I'm going to miss Howard Stern. What's a guy to do? Anyway, I'm mainly here to discuss UPS-related issues and to learn from what others have to say. Once again, my intent is not to upset anyone, although as previously stated, I'm of the opinion on-topic and off-topic threads should have their own separate places on this board. I simply believe it will make the main on-topic message board much easier to read. Flame suit on. [/QUOTE]
