are these hippos being used out of context?
that could ruin the whole hippo ethos.

I think I'm still within the bounds of acceptable hippo useage
The thread is unacceptable on several levels, and legally deemed a threadwaste (I checked with my lawyers before posting).

If I have overstepped the hippo-mark, I will of course happily oblige and remove said hippo from the aforementioned thread.

it's not a nice post
but it's not a threadwaste or a repost in a new thread.

However, Milkman Dan should be the final hippo arbiter
