A) I am not asking for the topic to be reviewed. Three mods have weighed in on that, and it’s a dead horse.

B) I do think it’s proper to say that data like this is only a pissing contest or a penis show and tell if you’re stupid.  
Only the stupid measure things that way.  
Everyone else just likes to see their name in print once in a while, and read the stats and be surprized that someone they never heard of is on top and people that seem to be everywhere are actually infrequent posters.

C) This is for Opal

D) I am not asking for the topic to be reviewed. Three mods have weighed in on that, and it’s a dead horse.

That wouldn’t just be a little sour grapes speaking, would it? 😉 For coming in second last time.

As I noticed on that thread on the first go around:

My $19.95 Ronco Baculum-Reinforced Penis abruptly failed me in mid-stream, so it’s not my fault. I’ve cancelled the VISA charge, let Ronco figure out how to deal with it.

I think everything that needs to be said on this has been covered.

Oh, and annalamerino? If you have a problem with DDG, this thread and this forum is not the place to air it. You may consider this a warning. Do not repeat this sort of thing again. If you need clarification on the issue I’ll be happy to discuss it with you in email.
