It could be worse.  There could have been no posts at all today.   ;)

Besides, I am collecting their emails for a big spam campaign of my own.   ;D

BTW, looks like we've been spammed........

Some of the less-expensive "knockoff" versions of the cube had stickers on the individual squres that coud be peeled off and restuck.  So, it became a running joke that the easiest way to solve the puzzle was to do just that.
