**aah1973** Doncha know I am yet another Doper that simply can’t seem to follow even the most simple of instructions. I can’t resist doing what I’m told not to… 😃 As of this moment 566 views, of which at least 3 are me. I just can’t seem to NOT read this blasted thread. Welcome to the boards! ---

**Ruby** , you have been sucked into the Vortex 😃 **aah1973** , you should be proud; AFAIK, not many of us newbies start a thread and get this much response. What’s your secret? ---

I am now absolutely convinced that **aah1973** is actually a bored board regular who started this thread just to prove how predictable we all are. ---

Hi **Ruby** and welcome. Would you like to marry me? Then people can say “here comes **Ruby Redboss** ”. Just don’t tell **Rosebud** , my current flame (for similar reasons) that this is going on. Nice name. Enjoy this place, won’t you? Redboss ---

Since I’m just testing to make sure my new password (dagnabbit, new passwords make my head hurt), I thought I might as well use an existing test thread rather than start up a new one. **aah1973** , your first thread is still going! This has to be some kind of record 🙂 ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by aah1973 \* > \*\*test \*\* This is his only post. One word, and the thread is already 2 pages long. Not as long as this [one](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=42857) word thread. But that thread starter had more than just one post. **ahh1973** Registered January 9, 2001, First posted word, August 2, 2001. I guess we’ll have to wait 7 or 8 more months for his second word. ---

Hey guys! I never thought that anyone would actually post to this thread. But, I am glad you all did. I really was just testing how to start a thread. I didn’t think of it as an actual test, but hey you guys all got an “A”. ---
