Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.

They rapidly bash their skulls into trees for hours a day. I'm not sure they can hear well. Do woodpeckers sing?
The local woodpeckers (flickers) bang against metal panelings as a mating call. Makes a pretty good racket.
