hancock.tom: damn annoying, but so are half the questions in the database so what can you do?
xofour: Now that truly is a matter of opinion. Firstly, can you really be damned just for being annoying. I imagine the answer to that would be yes. If you're chosen deity were offeneded by such things. On the other hand, there is the whole divine forgiveness for excessive use of 42 clause. I however, don't want to get to deep into the religious/philosophical discussion, so I would have to say that It is short, and therefor harmless. What would be annoying where if somebody were to type paragraphs to each and every question they came across that had little, or nothing to do with the actual question. But you couldn't know that until you had read every last word. Then you would have wasted a whole lot more time than just skimming and noticing that somebody had written 42 again in the vain hope that somebody would admire their creative genius, and ability to remember a plot tool from a book written 20 or so years ago. So I would say it's mostly harmless. And much less harmful than some of the more long winded answerers.
