I understand your point and I'm sure you know where I stand on this
whole FAQ issue. My philosophy is that a goth is a goth, whether it's
the old school version (from the days of Batcave or earlier) or the new
version (MM, crow, Switchblade, etc. to now). I don't think it's right
to shun people who are contributing to the subculture. It wasn't like
Giger was selling a get rich scheme. Who knows, if Giger found this
place welcoming, he/she would become a regular and post offtopic posts
that no one cares to attack. ;)
By the way, I was impressed by the polite factor. Impress me more by
not replying in the future to such posts.

Of course not, Denny's serves it 24 hours a day.
