    the song lyrics to that hello.mpeg go like this:
    I'm doin' this tonight ,
    You're probably gonna start a fight .
    I know this can't be right .
    Hey baby come on,
    I loved you endlessly ,
    When you weren't there for me.
    So now it's time to leave and make it alone .
    I know that I can't take no more
    It ain't no lie
    I wanna see you out that door
    Baby , bye, bye, bye...

    But it wouldn't be fun at all if it wasn't moderated informative... Why doesn't meta-moderation have a 4th option, "funny"? :-)
