    I wasn't saying you did. I was responding to your post that said it was fun to argue preferences.

    It’s part of the event and but hopefully continues after.

    Is this explicitly due to the event, or could it also be something recreation came up with surreptitiously?

    As part of CKS Pop and Art have recreation hosts hyping up the Skyliner line in the mornings. It was a nice touch, they had chalk for kids to draw with, doing quick trivia’s for sticker prizes, bubble machine, park maps etc. Nothing crazy but it’s those little surprise and delight moments that add to the overall experience.

    I don't think I did that...at least not recently. :hilarious:

    I think it's more fun to share my opinion on things and listen to others opinions. I find that interesting. I don't see the fun in telling someone they are wrong because they have a different preference than you. I don't believe there is one right answer to these things.

    For fun?
