Well, the basis of most entertainment (TV, books, films) is conflict.
Probably because humans like to see a resolution to a conflict. Which
explains the proliferation of Survivor-type "reality" (= cheap nasty s**t)
shows. Unfortunately the primary objective of the list is not to provide
(intentional) entertainment but information, although that's not to say it
has to be stuffy

Russell may say

"(Most of the more visible posters have maintenance in some form or
other except Jinx. He's just rude to everyone all the time so nobody
minds :-) [[That's a joke, should anyone wonder]]"

but I know he's joking. Plus he knows I know where he lives and that
he has to sleep sooner or later......

And who doesn't love Don "I'm a nice guy" Rickles ? I'm sure you
do, ya hockey puck
