Seriously, guys, how can you have posted here for 10, 50, 100, or 1000 posts, or MORE, and not yet realize that there is a rule against post-count party threads?? One of these must get shut down at least once a week, do you not notice? Or do you hope that yours will slip under the radar? Read the damn rules!! ---

I reports 'em as I sees 'em. Whoop-de-freaking-doo, youā€™ve posted a bajillion times. Good for you. Betcha half of them are junk. Hell, more than half of _mine_ are. But, no, people donā€™t read the rules. Or do, but think that surely they canā€™t apply to them, since, after all, theyā€™ve hit ā€œsubmitā€ five _thousand_ times now! Members of the elite, they are! Off to dine with the Queen! Bah! ---
