Janice Janice Janice...

Jeff had better be quick, lest yanking be effected posthaste through implementation of the special "sliding window" feature.

No need to get bent out of shape over this. But thanks for stroking my ego nonetheless.

Sorry, but I have seen the light that censorship is no longer an acceptable course of action and thus have given the FBN Post Remover code to Josef in the mailroom to toss in the shredder.

Gosh, we sure are getting close to one of the very rare instances in the life of an SI thread.

There are several opportunities to get triple digit post numbers.

111,222,333, .. etc.

In fact there are 9 chances in 999 posts, or slightly less than 1 %.

But, how often do you get the chance to collect two consecutive triple digit posts back to back? Like, uh ... 999 and 1000.

Let's see ... if I use my FBN-Computator and punch in the right parameters ... hang on while I do that ... ooops ... gotta' change batteries. Wait a minute ... OK ... now punch in the right parameters, and PRESTO!

You get 1 chance in 1,000 posts to get 2 triple-digits in a row.

I think, with the current situation as it is, that we should leave it as it is, and reserve the double-triple-digit post for our dear departed ... I mean excommunicated ... FBN buddy, Bounced Czech.

Discussion will be held in the clubhouse. See you guys over there.

Edit ... Never mind! I just read Josef's mailroom post and have discovered that BC will nevermore (as in "Quoth the raven ...") bless this thread. Thus the double-triple is up for grabs.

I am now stating, as I have not stated in the past, that peaceful resistance is a darned good way to not voice an opinion!
