Obviously I'm exaggerating a bit to say it's a sin punishable by death, I only meant it as a joke, but given the content of your post I would wager you also have seen that not everybody here takes too kindly to suggesting something like the number 17 being mentioned or randomly tapping your thigh while golfing has no super secret hidden meaning behind it. You only need to look so far as my being downvoted for merely joking about it to see this is the case. Of course I know it doesn't happen with every single post, but looking at the fact I was downvoted for joking about the fact it happens should show it definitely occurs.
