I had been saving my 666th post to do something evil - a post party, calling a mod a sock/troll, asking medical advice… something evil. I stopped gleefully at 665, pondering the depths of evil I was about to descend.

Then, in a mind-numb-at-work state, I responded - unthinking - to a question about a movie, started a thread then realized - aaaahhhhH! I blew it!!!

Can I start my thread count over?

:smack:

Well, if it makes you feel any better, you ended up with a closed thread for having, basically, a post count-padding OP.

It’s a silver lining in a very, very small cloud.
