This post pads my count nicely, without havng anything of substance in it. This post is another pointless post in a rather pointless thread that is none-the-less rather amusing. ---

This post points out that my previous post has a rather egregious typing error in it. ---

This is a post to drop the name [sub]Hofsteadler[/sub] of someone who once wrote a book of self-referential things. The letter “i” appears in this sentence four times. (But only one time here.) (And only twice in ths one.) The previous second parenthetical had a deliberate spelling error to ensure the truth of the sentence. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Kallessa \* > \*\*I hope that, in some small way, this post will add to the overall success of this thread. I find that, in posts such as this, I seek some acknowledgement that my contribution, poor as it may be, has lead some other doper to submit their own words of wisdom, most likely more profound and timely than my own, but somehow connected to my humble offering. My post is not only self-referential, but also self-deprecating, thus affecting a minor change in the thread as a result. \*\* This post makes **Kallessa** ’s post correct in that it did evoke another doper to submit his words. However, this post makes no claim that the words submitted by this poster are in any way wise. This post also acknowledges not only **Kallessa** ’s sucessful previous post, but also her quite sucessful run-on sentance. 🙂 ---
