Why do some people find it necessary to respond to every post, eventhough they have nothing of value to add. Just seems like they want the attention or to run up their post numbers but it all seems so phony and transparent. Get over yourself!! End of rant.

I'll stop posting on your threads ffJ. ;).


Oops, I just added to my post count.


Actually, I don't care about my post count, never have.  I do miss the Full Member title though.


The only time I care about post count and that is when I want to purchase something from a member. Less than 100, no sale. 100-300 must have a good reputation but it does not mean I will purchase it. The basic minimum is 500 posts and I will consider the sale. 1000 posts I will trust. I will still review posts for reputation unless I am already aware of the reputation. Rant done! 
I don't have a motorcycle, sold it ('85 Yamaha Venture Royale).  Haven't had a CB750 for over 40 years.

It's the phallic nature of the post count that does it. ;D

I always wonder about the threads that get started that have no real value other then to get others to agree and boost their post count.

Just saying....

I like my women a little big. Natural. Now, they shave this and wax that. It's not right. I love natural women. Big women. This trend in women has to go. Bulomia, anorexia. That's just wrong.

I just wanted to make sure I added my $0.02 even though it does not add any real value to the current discussion.
