**Manc** - It’s not a race. Post count really isn’t the be-all-and-end-all. There are people here who I come to recognise and appreciate before they’ve reached 100 posts and there are people who have thousands that I don’t care for. Of course, what I like and dislike isn’t the arbiter of what is good and bad - I’m just making a very vague point that it’s not a bad thing to take your time in building up your point count. If you want to be recognised, take the time to think about what you’re saying. Meaningless posts won’t win you respect. And if it helps, I recognise you already… but maybe that’s because you’re a filthy northerner. 😉 ---

Except that half the time **Shibb** and I don’t even flirt, except in some threads, and in the rest we usually talk about football and the Bucs. Hell son, I registered a month before Shibb and he has twice as many posts as I do. It’s not really because of all the reasons he listed either. He just hasn’t got a life, and he spends all his time here making up for it trying to act like one of the popular people. ::::puts her chin on her hand:::: Gee, I wish _I_ was one of the popular people… 😃 ---

Well. Ya see, that wasn’t supposed to say " :puts" it was supposed to say “:::: puts her chin on her hand::::” and the first time I read it in reply, I thought it said “puts her chin on her head” and I knew that didn’t make sense 😃 ---

I am only popular IRL, not on the boards. Of course maybe I should try setting up a kissing booth. [sub]nah, that’d never work. Maybe nudity…?[/sub] ---

Aw, **Shibb** , you’re popular with me. And I’m not just saying that so that I can use you to get the dirt on **Rue** or to get you to go thru his garbage when he’s not around… I like you for your wit and elan and, er, well, I like you. 😃 ---

If I keep this up for another 13 posts (as it stands) I’ll be at 100 posts. The big 1 double 0. Three figures. 1 x 100. ---

I can’t remember if he’s getting home today or tomorrow. All I know is he didn’t call, he didn’t visit, I’m here crying in my beer… well, not crying exactly, and it’s water, not beer… but still. So anyway, **mancunian** , sorry to hijack your thread. But if you wanna talk to me, that’ll help you get to 100. I live in Florida. Are you impressed?? ---

At least those _in the know_ do. ---
