Yeahā€¦ Sorry about that. I knew about the post-count-padding thread restriction, so I guess I thought the post-count party thread restriction was the same thing. Mea culpa. It wonā€™t be happening again. Plus, I wonā€™t be getting anywhere interesting for a while. Iā€™ll add a footnote to my 10,000th post, howā€™s that? ---

I didnā€™t know there was a ban against such threads. Rules who reads rules. Just do what you want and Iā€™m sure youā€™ll learn all the rules eventualy complete with consiquences. I donā€™t care for post count threads I see on other boards. Iā€™m kinda happy to learn they are banned here. ---
