In an effort to improve the integrity of the Town Meeting as a place for serious discussion, Moderators will be weeding out postings consisting of nothing more than a) "LOL" (or the like) b) Emoticons unaccompanied by commentary showing what thoughts (if any) the poster is trying to convey, c) Photos or images unaccompanied by contributing commentary, and/or d) 3rd party links unaccompanied by sufficient commentary to justify including the link as a contributing source of information, i.e. we want to know what YOU think, not what someone at another web site thinks.
