3. Other: It has to have at least 1,965 replies...
I don't pout if it doesn't, but I might highjack someone else's thread out of sheer whiny boredom. :silly:

17. There is a difference between replys and posts.
you can have 35 posts on a thread but only 4 replys. Know what I mean?:shrug:

20. Actually, what I was saying
is I sometimes reply to my own replies. Basically, I talk to myself in my own threads. It's a thinly veiled method of kicking one's own thread. :D

22. I have read some of you threads and
you do a good job of holding your own conversation, so I just read then laugh and go. I don't want to interrupt you.:hi:

12. I don't think I've ever thought about it that way
In the daytime here I'm lucky if I get a reply or two; at night I guess my music request threads a alot of replies..
