Usually, it's just the voices in my head saying 'Burn things...' over and over again...

If the "things" are all available scores of Schulhoff's In Futurum (from which 4'33" is flagrantly plagiarised) then you are just channelling Cage.

I win because this is the last (only) post on the thread that will be reply # 150!

To the extent that there is more competitive ambition than contemplative thought around here it would seem inevitable.  ;)

So who's winning?

Nils is going to come along and delete the thread like he did with the number counting thread.

He may actually lock it at some point - inevitably making one person a winner for the rest of time.

I'm hoping he'll lock it after my post.     ;D

That's true. But wouldn't Nils win at that point?  He could put a special note, "This thread is now locked... and PS I won!" and then close the thread.

Actually I could see that happening to ensure none of us won... would seem only fair - Not that I think he'd do it out of pettiness... but just to end the thread.
