I have a feeling it’s in regard to [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=184994), though I haven’t a clue who Jim is, unless he’s referring to **Jomo Mojo**. I see a premature meltdown rapidly approaching. ---

and Bingo was his name - o. I would suggest doing a search of rico776’s posts. Like a fine wine, they … Aw, screw it. He/she’s more of a tool than I am. And simply because I’ve been feeling paraniod recently: Is the 's after rico776 correct? I know it’s possesive, but the other thread said not to use 's with numbers. Also, is “than” correct, or should it be “then?” Thanks in advance. ---

Since the name contains numbers, the apostrophe is correct. And in that instance it is “than” not “then”. Than is used when making a comparison, then is used when establishing an order. ---

No. It’s [this](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=184987) thread about Jose Cuervo. You’re an ass, **rico**. He was trying to help you and you didn’t get it. You compounded your idiocy by flaming him in GQ. He explained himself and you still felt the need to pit him. Get a fucking clue, party boy. Haj ---
