Open the Moratorium Lounge and discuss trivia, that might attract some posters.
Suitguy is not bitter.

feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive

The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

There is but one answer to that question, even if I just had a huge breakfast, of course!

I just got off a cruise. I may not eat for decades.

Of course, I've got a run of family birthdays coming up, so I know those good intentions are not gonna last....

I knew that 88,888 was the next gus, but I didn't realize that it could possibly come on 08/08/08. That would be so cool.

I'm still south of 1000 posts, but I hope to change that soon (although I find it hard to believe that I haven't hit a thousand with all the posting I did back in 2000)

Will we get a trip report, Mikey?

I particularly want to hear about that Fantastic Race event, if it took place. :)

A post with no relevance or purpose; a post that is made solely to increase one's posting totals. Ref. 95% of my posts, and all posts made by my Merry Men.
Enough already. It's my fault! Get over it!

Your Merry Men are not counted. You have to be gratuitous under your own name.

Using that definition, none of my posts are gratuitous.

All of mine may not have relevance and they all have purpose.

Even if no one but mean sees or knows the purpose.

I must get back to non-gratuitous work type non-posting.
