Do HQ people make these odd interjections on MN? I've never seen any (not that I'm in there much...) - just wondering how they'd be received! 
Expensive free range chicken was tasteless!
I feel like I lack basic general knowledge

Site stuff
...isn't it just encouraging fighting between posters, rather than just debating the subject up for discussion?
As well as driving me totally round the bend.
Julie is just as addicted as the rest of us I reckon.

Well, if you start a thread in site stuff, we assume you'd like an answer of some sort. It may not necessarily be the one you wanted, but we will answer. And yes, MNHQ also pop onto the threads in site stuff over there. If you have a question about the site, site stuff is the place to ask it.
But...you didn't give the OP an answer, Julie...
That's not the reason! It's what I said!

Italics place an emphasis on a word, I think. It doesn't promote arguments, unless you're one of the feisty members that is

That Ana' s feisty.
It wasn't about italics being used for emphasis, Julie...
(honestly, do they ever actually read the threads?)
Do you know how long it takes to do these fancy emotis? Especially when you've gone all through the suggestions predictive text throws up.
I know what she means A!

I suppose feisty is one word julie - how very tactful of you (still need a laugh smiley on here)
And what about the colour scheme. Avoided that one did n't we?!
Yes, instead of a jack 'o lantern leer! 
We've got a laugh smiley! What d'ya think this is ?

But what's wrong with it? At least your posts are not... green! Rose is a wonderful colour. Would you rather it was... beige?
Go on Julie. Take sides. I dare you!

Oh, never. I'm utterly impartial buy can be bought with wine and cake
