AboutFor those of you who aren't familiar with CF Abby, she finds examples of advice-column trainwrecks and posts her own advice in the form of snark on her site. I think the site is brilliant, but it isn't updated often. This community is meant to take up the slack.
The idea is that members will find examples of brain damage from the various 'Dear Abby' columns on the web (both in the original questions and the replies, both of which should be posted) and post them to the comm, then post our own 'advice' (read: snark) in letter form in the comments.
Friendly discussion in the comments is fine, but this isn't a forum for fighting, trolling or drama. Please be courteous towards each other at all times.
You don't have to be childfree to join, but if the very idea of women who don't desire kids of their own (or judging people whose parenting is, let's say, less than stellar) is anathema to you, you probably won't enjoy reading this journal. Please don't troll; instead just don't read. That way everyone is happy.

Posting rules:
- The actual post is just for the original advice column question and the response to it. Keep your 'reply letters' in the comments.
- Put the post under a cut, with a title that displays the main snarkage target.
- Put the original question in italics to differentiate it from the columnist's advice.
- Keep your
snarkadvice in reply-letter format. - You can snark the question, the advice or both, but please don't snark each other.
