Well, can I count _all_ my posts, or only the good ones? Cuz, that would make a big difference, you know? ---

I’m new at this whole “message board, posting” thing so give me some credit. Its a whole new world here, I never knew message boards could be so…interesting. Heehee… Anyway, post number 21, here I come! ---

Welcome to the boards, Amy. I’m sure you’ll do fine in these parts. Just speak your mind and don’t be an idiot. I’m on the boards constantly, though I don’t post much; I usually don’t have much to say. On the other hand, Isabelle registered just a few months before I did, and she is a MUCH more prolific poster. This is definatley the best board on the net. Its become an addiction! My company is virtually paying me to write this message. But I digress…post number forty-something for me! Horray! ---

Somewhere in the 4700s. I used to play a game where I’d imagine I was living in the year of my post count. Got kind of pointless once I passed 2002 though. So I don’t do that anymore. But 1563 is a neat year. I wonder what Liz is up to over in England? ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Flander \* > \*\*Welcome to the boards, Amy. I’m sure you’ll do fine in these parts. Just speak your mind and don’t be an idiot. \*\* Thanks Flander! 🙂 I usually speak my mind and hopefully I’m not an idiot about it. At least not too much… I also get paid for posting these messages too. Sometimes I feel bad about it but most of the time…I don’t. 😃 Then again, that’s because my manager is cool and could care less what I do as long as I finish what I’m supposed to do. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Isabelle \* > \*\*I have seen several people excited about their post count. > What is the big deal? Who cares how many times you have posted? Is it really important in the big scheme of things…are you going to trust someone’s word just cause they have a higher post count? > I just don’t get it. \*\* Yeah, I really don’t get it either. I have a lot of GQ and CAFE interests. I like the story telling and conversation threads in MPSIMS. I’m a Trek Doper. I’m into religion at times (esp in The Pit) and flirting other times. I also like the occasional non-sequitur. All that adds up. No big deal. ---
