Just as much spare time as you do, since you both replied 5 times this topic (although two of his just say 'LOL').
PsyGuy has even more time with 7 replies.

(And I have just enough spare time to count them all)

Unlike many of us, sid is part of senior management. He'd be focusing on bigger things than posting/commenting on trivial matters. I merely responded how the admin (not all, but many) got their priorities wrong.

Seriously, stop it. My sides hurt.

Here is some advice: next time, try to create a thread on how newbies can succeed at interviews at these stressful fairs, not clothes, undergarments, and make-up. That way, you can add value and make a difference to someone's career as there are plenty of such folks seeking help on this forum every year.

If you read some of his replies in another thread (2019 Bangkok fair reports), you'll see that he has already given lots of advice on just that, answering questions teachers asked him.
Plus, it's clear that this thread was just meant as a small (but useful) piece of advice, posted with no other intention than to help candidates. Let's not make it into something else (oh wait, too late!).
Not all threads need to be of extreme importance - plenty of room on the forum.

It was trivial and funny. And that’s it. Sometimes life is easy.

Microwaving and adding butter to popcorn - poor health choices, sj. Eat healthy, bud.

TT - the popcorn was already slathered with fake butter. I'm just here to enjoy the show...
