But it seems like people are having just as much fun questioning or flouting the parameters, so if that's what you really want to do with this thread, have at it.~lmp

Aye, there's no sense in stomping out creativity. Even if it is a poll thread why set up restrictions and limit the possibilities? I didn't know the Down's decided to beef up their security and start screening what thoughtful input was allowed and what wasn't. "Sorry Miss, you are not allowed to bring Morgoth into this discussion. As you see he is not one of the
acceptable choices."
I was told a story about a theater class. They decided to do the play Romeo and Juliet. However, there was only one boy who was not assigned a part, as they ran out of roles. So, the teacher asked him what he wanted to do, he could help behind the scenes, he could be a 'townsperson,' what did he want? The boy said he wanted to be a pig that shadowed Juliet and mirrored her emotions. The teacher laughed it off and said, "there are no pigs in Romeo and Juliet." The boy replied "Well, there is in this one."
By restricting the info that is allowed to be mentioned you discourage creative thinking, and creativity can offer fascinating insights that you never considered before.
With that said, this is a new idea, and a thread that has sparked some great discussion. So, how about we get back to that, eh?
