Why Do We Enjoy Smacking a Piņata with No Candy Left?

Over the years, in HDH, Demimonde, and even here we've discussed this "what makes an HDH?" price-point stuff perhaps as much as any topic. Reference the other thread here.

What I find curious is that most everyone who participates knows the answer. So why does this topic keep resurrecting itself? Inquiring minds want to know. A little.

Well I am sorta new to eccie. If I had known the topic had already been discussed I would have never posted it (The thread you are referring to). I didn't think the thread would turn out the way it did. I hope that answered you question. Enjoy your day.

Oh, no, no, Naomi. I am much glad you did for if you didn't bring it up, others would have. We've done it for years. I took your post as a sign that you're part of the gang who asks the same questions we all ask. I realize my post might have looked like I was "ho-humming" yours but nothing could be further from the truth. The appearance of any insensitivity was wholly unintended. You'll forgive me, I trust.

I enjoy the banter on that topic as much as anything. From a human psychology perspective, I just wonder why it is so intriguing to us.
