I am really frustrated with 6 for 6 buries. This one had 27 diggs, was in the #1 spot to move up and then blamo gone. Even had 20 diggs on comments alone!

Things don't have "features" any more, they "<em>rock</em>". eg. "The xbox 360 <em>rocks</em> a 20GB HDD." "See Bob <em>rocking</em> a new hair-cut". ENOUGH!!! 2. After compiling a list of instructions, it's necessary to suggest we should "rinse and repeat". ARRRRRGHHHHHH!!! I'm done now :) Two things I HATE:
