This thread was intended for the regular readers of this particular forum, which is a specific population of 2+2 readers who have wide-ranging interests, but are comrades in the poker/gambling culture. The thread leaked out into the general population, including music fan dorks who have no interest in this forum or site other than this rare moment when it happened to overlap into their world. The regular participants in this forum feel like you "civilians" are trespassing here, gawking, and are a nuisance.

Dorky it may be, but I can certainly vouch for what a nuisance outside weirdos can be...

Those knobs there can keep their little world. It smells like wet cabbage anyway.
