Donald did send me a PM, but it was too late. I'd already gone to bed. Mark wrote: Just my personal opinion. But I have little fun in this game when people think it's a gas to post canned posts ad infinitum to advance the count. Am I wrong, or did this used to exist as a game where people posted as they casually did and the winner.................amazingly was a winner. Bon chance. I leave you to it. Not for me. It is indeed your game. Play it as you shall. I personally think it sucks wind. I agree. New rule for this thread (the next winner can keep it or not, his/her choice): you must actually say something in each post, not just paste the same bunch of stuff every time. All that other stuff is what signatures are for. Having used my clipboard to copy and paste Mark's quote, I'll have to find the standard rules and edit them in, in a minute or two. [edit] The Last Person To Post Here Wins Thread, general rules: 1. Winner of the last thread starts the new one with a post of these rules. 2. Chooses a future event which triggers the winner, e.g. post number, date-time, and records it privately somehow (yellow sticky, etc.) 3. Everyone has fun posting until the target event is reached. 4. When the target is reached, old winner posts declaration of new winner and also PMs them. 5. Shortly after this a Mod will lock the recently won thread. 6. No double posts. Violator buys a round for the house in Rocky's Pub. 7. Failure to post original material also costs the violator a round at Rocky's. [edit 2] Off to inventory some books.

This is about as original as it gets David, making a big post when I have nothing to say, is not Me.. So I won't, I could say something more on this, but I won't...

Nobody is asking for a tome of Shakespeare in each and every post. Just SOMEthing other than a cut and paste post ad infinitum a billion times. I don't think that is an unfair or unusual request.
