You guys know you can join Facebook and not post anything about yourself. Even use a fake name and just view stuff?

Holy Smoke - Be prepared to laugh out loud http://is.gd/f4cHh (Facebook)
Steve, not enough warning!!!!! I really had a hard time not laughing out loud!!!!
Edit: Quoted the wrong post, again!!!
Arghhhh, websensed
This is funny, I clicked Quote over WayneS's comment
Who let Brandie get hold of the remote???? Alvin, weren't you supposed to be keeping it safe?
with the intent of suggesting that perhaps that's why Alvin keeps getting the wrong quote.
Instead of quoting Wayne's post, I got the above in my Post Quoted Reply editor.

That keeps happening to me too. I finally figured it out this morning, though. If someone's posting at the same time as you're hitting the quote button, it'll mess up the "read" on the site and give you the post above.

Non-SQL Board, silly. @=Pbbt
NoSQL? 😛
Careful, you. I have the DBCC Timewarp remote and I'm not afraid to use it!
Who let Brandie get hold of the remote???? Alvin, weren't you supposed to be keeping it safe?;-)
Not my job. I think it's Jason's responsibility.
No problem - she got the horcrux remote. If she tries to timewarp - she gets devoured.

Heh. Yeah, but I've figured out if I wear the invisibility cloak while using the horcrux remote, the beastie can't find me to do the devouring! Bwhahahahahaah.

I don't think you'll have much luck reigning in Brandie. She lives in FL, and if she doesn't have a gun, she can borrow one from Andy Warren.
I'd leave her alone, buy her books, and post nice complements.

Aww. Look at that. Steve's trying to get another article out of me. @=)

I believe it happens if a new post has been created since you downloaded/refreshed the page.

And as long as that keeps going down, we'll make it!

Now, is anyone tracking Gail to see which will get to 20k first? 🙂

Are we talking strictly posts or overall points?

Strictly posts

16.7 per day

Overall points

3.7 per day

Never gonna make it, Dude. Less you post to this forum group, one post every 7 minutes for the whole 24 hour duration.

If you only want to post during business hours, though, 1 post every 2.5 minutes...

Well, the thread is strictly posts. Seems fair to me to be consistent.
