## The next post after this one should be number **666**. OTOH, I saw two posts in the pit that were numbered 663. So maybe this is actually the beastly post? “I must leave this planet, if only for an hour.” – Antoine de St. Exupéry Are you a turtle? ---

Okay, yesterday this post started with 665 and the next one was 666. Now I look at it and it starts with 671. On both posts. WTF? * * * “I must leave this planet, if only for an hour.” – Antoine de St. Exupéry Are you a turtle? ---

Good morning, Johnny. Here, have some coffee. The number in the left margin indicates the _total post count_ of a poster. So, if you post one more, the number changes for all your posts. You’re welcome 😃 * * * **Coldfire** _ **Likely Voted to Poster Most Drunk** _ * * * **WallyM7** on Coldfire: _ **"Yeah, he knows a little about everything because they have a good prison library."** _ ---

No, Johnny, you’re right to be confused. I’ve often clicked on my profile and gotten a number different from the margin post count. * * * “His eyes are as green as a fresh-pickled toad, His hair is as dark as a blackboard, I wish he was mine, he’s really divine, The hero who conquered the Dark Lord.” ---

See—that last post said 838, but my profile said 840. * * * “His eyes are as green as a fresh-pickled toad, His hair is as dark as a blackboard, I wish he was mine, he’s really divine, The hero who conquered the Dark Lord.” ---
