Evap lines

A little rant about the overuse of "Evap" votes on test images.

"Evap" is short for evaporate(d)/evaporation, which means "to expel moisture from" (source: Merriam-Webster). There is no way that a pregnancy test pic taken within the proper time frame, or even a bit longer, is going to have all of the moisture expelled from it! Secondly, an evap line should not have any color to it.

So to the many who hastily click evap when voting without seemingly taking the time to evaluate the image by glancing at the time frame, etc.: Please stop. If it meets the evap standards, then by all means click that button, otherwise there is a "negative" button (which is another topic of discussion concerning time frame, etc.). My personal favorite, when it looks like there might be something there but it doesn't look too promising to me, yet is still a bit early in the poster's TWW, is the "unsure" button. :)

Thoughts?
