I'm not calling you a liar but what you say runs counter to the advice of The Eagles who sang :

[i]Just put that monster smile on them rosy cheeks 'Cause the Greeks don't want no freaks [/i]

It's a line from a song for God's sake

Ok so my first comment could be downvoted because people think I'm not funny. My subsequent comment was just to clarify that the first comment was not anything personal against anyone. So why was that downvoted? An explanation from the downvoter would be nice

I suspect it's due to this portion of http://ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html:

> Resist complaining about being downmodded. It never does any good, and it makes boring reading.

Thanks for the explanation, I appreciate it
