Nonetheless, I would like to mention that the 3 or 4 posts since
May 8 have been *replies*

Seven posts since 8 May, and not all of them have been replies. But
why count when you can just make stuff up?

and it is arguable whether a reply strictly counts as a post,
since it is a *response*, and not the original action.

HFS!

Are you following this?

I'm trying to follow, but it's getting more difficult. As best I
can tell, you are planning to post a poll about whether or not Ozzy
Osbourne is smarter than you, and you are trying in advance to make
sure that he wins by a wide margin.

Anyone who's been banned from San Antonio, had dinner with G W Bush,
broken his neck, sung for Queen Elizabeth II, saved someone from a burning
house after a plane crash, and bitten the head off a live bat by mistake,
clearly has something of a head start ...
