It's just human nature to reply to posts where we share a similar experience and so I'm sure this will continue to happen.

Shouldn't we make that decision ourselves? I must admit, there's an awful lot of crap that's posted on this board that I have absolutely no care for. You know what I do? Skip over them. Just so you know, I personally don't feel the need to "ratchet" a post whenever necessary. I'm just a poor lonely Polynesian boy thats down on his luck with absolutely no life. To be honest, I was actually surprised at how many posts I've racked up on TC. I just wanted to give Bong a hard time about it because being the soft, complex-laden individual he is, I knew I'd get an amusing response from him. As I've offered before, I apologize if our "Posts Battle" pissed anyone off. It was not my intention to do so. I just got caught up in the game because that particular "battle" post was so damn funny at the time. And oh yeah TW, no need to slap me on the wrist. Hanford already put me in detention. *** * * The Polynesian Popster * * *** [ Edited by: PolynesianPop on 2003-02-14 17:23 ] [ Edited by: PolynesianPop on 2003-02-14 17:26 ] [ Edited by: PolynesianPop on 2003-02-14 17:39 ]
