Well, **In My Humble Opinion** , long races to be the first post on a new page are a waste – cheating, even. Don’t start the multi-post influx until you’re three posts away, sez me. 😛 ---

Hey, everybody! What’s you favorite line from the classic romantic comedy Roxanne, starring Steve Martin? I think mine is ‘Earn more sessions by sleeving’. How about you? …or is this topic better suited for **Cafe Society**? ---

Well, we could have a discussion on what distance from the end of a page is apporpriate to start multi-posting, with an eye towards being the first poster on the next page. In this **Great Debate** , my answer would have to be “no more than three”. I’d be happy to debate any other views on this topic. Ya losers. ---
