Anyone want to try starting this thread in the pit? It seems to me any 1:1 posters arenā€™t about to scew up _that_record by announcing it here in IMHO. Oh and my ratio is 0. ---

Nym, keep beating dead horses and Iā€™m sure that P.Q. will rise. My P.Q. is 1:11. Or, as my daughter informs me, 9.09%. I donā€™t know what that means. ---

I donā€™t believe Iā€™m beating dead horses considering I have no clue who you are and you have no clue what Iā€™m talking about. Care to explain yourself? [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/whats-your-p-q-pit-quotient/37343.md?page=3)
