Look, I love diving, and I love my kids. But I can't rent kids for just a few years [ok, excepting foster parenting]. Having a child introduces complexity, and "drop everything for 15 years" is only one possible answer.



I'm not really sure what you are saying. "drop everything" is hyperbole - just drop the things with a higher chance of killing you.


To follow this advice, most parents in America would do well to stop driving and exercise more, including me.

Nah, it needs more people using these little arrows which are there for a reason. You may also want to flag if somebody is a real nuisance, moderators can limit such user's posting rate and I think they monitor posts getting lots of flags.


Why? Because you don't like my opinion? Then why not contribute constructively rather than fling mud?


It's irrelevant whether I like your opinion or not. My issue is that your point has been heard. ...And heard, and heard, and heard.

Time to clear out of the theater to make room for other people who want to partake. Basic etiquette.

What does that mean? My posts aren't dupes. If my responses are similar, it's because similar posts existed in the first place.

> make room for other people who want to partake

This is a digital forum, there are no such restrictions, "theater etiquette" doesn't apply.

A good quality post is a good quality post, why would it matter who posts it?
