A TCP packet walks into a bar, and says to the barman "Hello, I'd like a beer." The barman replies "Hello, you'd like a beer?" "Yes," replies the TCP packet, "I'd like a beer." I'd tell you my UDP packet joke, but I'm not sure you'd get it.

No one's complaining about the lack of cat photos and memegenerator links on Hacker News, but here we are again decrying Stack Overflow trying to keep its signal to noise ratio high. The historical lock is an appeasement for those who like to binge on candy all day long and not realise a site built on 90% candy is no place for quality. You're laying bets all over the place.
