TLC: Well, I have some good news, and I have some bad news. The good news is that the consensus of opinion is that the thread creator made a minor boo-boo, and really meant to say "FBN Associates - Fantasy or Fraud, You Decide". The bad news is I still can't figure out why the thread was created in the first place. Everybody knows FBN (Furniture Brands) is real, and FBNA (FBN Associates) is fictitious. Anyway, here was my aborted attempt to get the discussion back on track: Message 5035867 Oh, yeah ... worse news ... 167 ... 1+6 = 7 ... you get a 50% bonus. But, that bonus is in addition to any other points that post number is awarded under the rules. 167 has no other redeeming qualities. 50% of 0 points is 0. So, you get squat. I'm already intimately familiar with this little loophole in the rules. Frankly, I'm considering sending a letter to my Congressman complaining about the mistreatment being provided to faithful followers of an All-American company. But, as usual, I expect they would do just the same as they do with all other constituent related issues. Yep, you got it ... absolutely nothing! As you can see, FBNA is supported in some surprising political arenas. Regards, TED (Gee, I don't FEEL any older ...)
