You’ve read one, you’ve read them all. I rarely bother to read them because they’re alway the usual suspects talking about the usual suspects.

It’s a little disappointing to skim the thread and not be named, but then again, I don’t know that I’ve really done anything worth recognizing. So I figure, as long as there aren’t a bunch of threads pitting me, then I’m doing all right.

Right, which would make it potentially even more depressing to be left out.

I didn’t see the point of starting the Pit thread, either, although like **Heffalump and Roo** I did find it telling.

This thread has helped me decide never to go near another popularity thread, for any reason. (And if I waver in my resolve, no one’s to know but me and the hamsters, eh?)
