Caroline,
I agree with you about some of the depths of banality this list has reached 
recently and I hope you figure out how to get off the list (it sounds like 
we're trapped on here). It is more important, however, to understand that the 
conjunction of 'you' and 'are' is you're. See, when you write "your boring", 
you have used the possessive form of your and it begs the question, your 
boring what? What you're really trying to say is "you are boring", so you 
would use a conjunction.

I'm sure it just seems like I'm being a pedantic ass, but if you really want 
to insult Dan and Chris, your use of the wrong "your' allows them to dismiss 
your point as that of an idiot. They can just say "what does she know? She 
can't even communicate." Bad grammar is not mod.
Not being a jerk, it just looks that way,
Corin
