Observation
Is it just me or does the general message board get a lot of trolls? As funny as some of them are, it's very annoying to the good people who just want to find out the meaning/origin/pronunciation of a name! Like whoever was haleigh/joleigh/anjaleigh or avs aparna (who posted "message", something incomprehensible about Hindu mythology). I noticed that the baby name board next door doesn't get nearly as many trolls (the immortal Elaine and ME aside).Miranda (who just looked up the spelling of "pronunciation"! Why isn't it spelled "pronounciation" like "pronounce"?)

The pronounce/proninciation problem is here so that poor English students like me could get a lecture from their linguistics professor when they get it wrong.

It happens from time to time, especially around full moon :). Btw, I wish the leigh person's post could magically go to the other board where he/she could get opinions on kre8tive spellings.

The redundant and cr8tive messages are annoying, but sometimes the semi-comprehensible messages seem to be posted by people that seem to be sincere but have a shaky grasp of English.
