Itā€™s tacky to keep posting to your own thread, er, I mean an SMDB thread, where basically the only purpose it serves is bump up your post count. Not that thatā€™s what youā€™re doing but thatā€™s what youā€™re doing. šŸ˜‰ Only wish I had thought of it first ---

Sorta takes the steam out of talking about your nemesis :smack: if every time you reference him you say "nemesis :smack: ". Makes it sound like youā€™ve got Touretteā€™s or something. And itā€™s tacky to be the nemesis :smack: of somebody with Touretteā€™s. So donā€™t be a nemesis :smack: . ---

I think it is tacky to correct a spelling error in another post when you meaning was still oblivious. It means that you think that everyone is obssessed with you and will study your posts in detail. ---
