Yeah, there have been times when I’m tempted to post:

1. Whatever swampbear said
2. Whatever swampbear said
3. Whatever swampbear said
4. Whatever swampbear said
5. Whatever swampbear said
6. Whatever swampbear said
7. Whatever swampbear said
8. Whatever swampbear said
9. Whatever swampbear said
10. Whatever swampbear said

I figured I could at least tie for first place that way.

I just comfort myself on my string of bottom-10 finishes by saying “It’s OK… all this proves is what an original free-thinker you are, **JohnT**. After all, if you won all that means is that _you are no different than everybody else_.”
