But when it's the same tired ass joke taking up half of the Baseball Talk index page, it gets tiresome trying to filter through that joke to find threads I want to keep up on.

It was becoming the GRB equivalent of Joey Gladstone's "cut it out" joke....
I see. And others can duplicate post the forums every which way...
