If you look here, then you have to post!
on: July 17, 2007, 11:35:36 AM
The title says it ALL. If you look in here (which you just did), you HAVE to Post.   Each time you visit!

Let's try to keep the "replies" same number as the "views".
I know it's impossible, but let's try our hardest!

I can't really do anything to the ones who don't follow the rules, but let's try anyway!  ;)


( Oh and if you view it, but forget to reply, then you have to come back and reply twice.. cool?  8)

Let's begin NOW!

By the way, after this post there will probably be 3 replies and 5 visits. So it's absolutely impossible unless some sort of manipulation in the counters is applied.

I was thinking about NOT posting in, but my conscience wouldn't let me do that.  So, here I am, posting in after about 4 hours of sleep.

Is this the nappy-bye room ?

jlh, what ratio replies/views you think you're going to have? Now it is 8/23=0.3478. Not that bad if you look at some other threads. And frankly, I don't suppose the ratio will get much higher.

But was curiosity ever charged with the cat's murder?

Are you in any way connected, Susan? (apart from to that Bible of yours, of course)...

Hi. Someone told me I probably can't handle taking that many subjects as I am now, and I'm starting to loose hope in myself. I'm wondering if everyone else thinks the same thing and are just too polite to say anything to me. I'm currently at a loss for words...

Cursed thread and cursed curiosity ?  I tried to cheat the system and I read all these new posts in the "view most recent posts" link -- but I STILL came and posted here ... again ! ... LOL.

Now, there IS a way to catch up with the views, I believe ;D...

It's like some sort of a magnetic field... you see there's a new post here, you come here to read it... and you have to post something or you'll find yourself breaking the rules...

Perhaps not the best method for making the ratio replies/views very high, but definitely keeps the ratio views/time on a good level.  ;)

Possible. Happened to me once. I was lying in a bed reading a book and a bulb was over me. Suddenly it shot and some parts of hot glass fell exactly between the book and my head!

Yeah, I am often trying to cheat  8).  But, I didn't end up cheating.  See, I am obsessive and I am probably going to end up posting about 100 replies here, just because I am being magnetically drawn to this thread ... I can't seem to steer clear of it.  And, my conscience simply will not allow me to NOT post each time I come over here.

HOWEVER  8)

No, rain in Sedona has a unique smell... it's more than just a feeling of refreshment.  I don't know if it's from the red rocks or evergreen trees or the desert or a combination of them all.

Actually, perhaps that IS possible  8).  I am trying it now, as a matter of fact.  Though, I am assuming that, even though I quoted your post from that link, I am probably considered to be "viewing" the thread now and it is registering as such (but who knows ?).
