You know you shouldn’t post to this thread, but you have to. You can’t help yourself. No self-control, that’s you. And of course, as soon as someone else posts to this thread, well, that just proves it, doesn’t it. So … go ahead … I dare you. Don’t post here. ---

You are absolutely right. I have nothing of substance to contribute to this topic. I’ll just be on my way. 😉 ---

I am a trendy follower. I must do what everyone else does or I am somehow less than worthy. You can’t possibly know how much it’s hurting me to post to this thread after having gone on and on about ego and popularity. ---

[sub]I’m supposed to be working more, posting less.[/sub] I felt an overwhelming urge to turn on my computer just now. Next, I decided that one little peek at The Straight Dope wouldn’t hurt.
