It is a sobering thought ...

... that when Mozart was my age, he'd been dead for 18 years.
... that a walk through the ocean of most souls would scarcely get your feet wet.
... that if I keep posting here at my current rate, it would still take me over 18 months before I had as many posts as pea does as of right now.
... that I've been hanging around with you folks for over 8 years now. (Sobering or scary. I can't decide which.)
Thanks for putting up with me.

Because if you try to say PHPBB it would sound like you are making the sound people say is a raspberry.
Or a Bronx cheer, I think.

gsabc actually gets credit for coining that name when we were discussing what to name it, back at the end of November.
The Raspberry Bored. Isn't "PHPBB" the sound of a raspberry/Bronx cheer?

It's Uly's latest avatar that has piqued my interest. I hope there's a fascinating "back story".
