> [@](#): > > Thanks for posting your message, Democritus! We are now sending you back automatically to this topic. Please wait two seconds. Sorry, but for some reason, I just _love_ this message. I like that I am **thanked** every time I post. Whether it is a quality post or not! Sometimes, when I know I posted something lame, I feel kind of guilty when I see the computer thanking me. One thing that always confused me was the wait two seconds thing. I mean, how the hell do **you** know how long it will take!

I love that message, too, Dem! But it doesn’t always take 2 seconds, just 2 seconds until the next screen tells me to wait **another** 2 seconds! * * * [Cessandra](http://www.angelfire.com/tx3/miscjunk/profile.html) It’s frightening how many crazies think that world is going to end in a few days. All of us smart people know that it’s not ending until next year. ---

Mine only takes about a second and a half, but then again I always did march to the beat of a different drummer! * * * I really try to be good but it just isn’t in my nature! ---
