WHY do so many post questions in here, where they say, "SERIOUS ANSWERS ONLY?" They don't have any sense of humor at all?

Have you ever seen two questions comically appearing like this? (See my answer for my example.)

Thank you. I appreciate your carefulness. I have a terrible time framing helpful responses to questions when the globalizing statements made make the question false to begin with (even though I know that's not probably what the questioner intended to say).

I agree. I can't be 100% certain I've never said one or the other, but I, almost naturally, refrain from making statements that include EVERYONE. I'll use most even instead of all. Or even "from what I've seen" since that shows that there are situations that could have happened that I have not encountered yet. I agree though. All inclusive statements annoy me. Especially when dealing with something that would include me, but I disagree with. (I.E. All teenagers are fat and stupid, would probably get a rouse out of me.)
