I've got one. It does everything I tell it to do.

Netflix threads aren't a problem...it's the "whining about Netflix posts"
that show up in all sorts of threads that are a problem. And, if there
weren't anonymous posters who name-hop, I wouldn't have to read those.
As it is, they show up because these people do whatever they can to turn
every thread into a Netflix bashing convention.

I start threads when I want info I can't find otherwise. I don't start
threads just to chat. I do, however, quite often respond to intelligent
posts about movies and DVDs with as much information as I have.

Perhaps somebody who posts once a month shouldn't be the one to suggest
that other people start more "interesting" threads.
