That’s a very good point, datamuse. It’s just that I have noticed a lot of comments lately about snarkiness and trolls and I thought if everyone agreed with each other there might be a more friendly tone to a thread or two. In hindsight I probably should have sought out a solution from the two different camps. I must admit the sidewalk chalk idea is pretty cool. I even think we should block the street off for a night or two and let the students go nuts. . . . . takes a bit of the (supposed) “fun” out of it but the tradition would live on and the students would be safer.
