Hello
From checking the top 10 posts, I see trickykid (Texan Guitarist) is in the lead as regards overall numbers. Is there a prize going for first to 2k? Cos if so, I need to catch up.
And is tricky isajeras mate??? We should be told.

sorry to dissapoint drjim... i just happen to know a texan bass guitarist with the same initials as him. funny coincidence, but, no, we haven't met. (i suppose it's not TOO much of a coincidence... there's a LOT of guitarists in austin)

Being English, Austin is just Mr Powers first name.
There's loads of axemen here as well. Suggest Stuart Adamson / Big Country as role models.

it's a quote from Douglas Adams - Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, i believe. or maybe it was a different Dirk Gently story. i don't remember offhand.

two in a row? you're just padding your posts now aren't you

if you want to beat someone to 2000, i wouldn't be worried about trickykid. worry about jharris. he's second, i think, and posting at twice the rate tricky is.

Dirk Gently.=Great
Just spent the weekend listening to the original Hitchikers Guide tapes.
I've got this terrible pain in all the diodes down my left hand side.

Even replying to my own posts won't get me there. I'll have to become a Linux guru first.
Are they???>

RE jharris and tricky

Isajera
Anyway as I see it Jamie has just finished at University and is surfing full time whilst looking for a job. That's what I did last year when I lived in Cronulla NSW except I spent too much time on the internet and not enough on the beach.
Or is that the other way around??
Arthur Dent moment.

Please try to keep the posts in the Website Questions & Suggestions forum on topic as I want all members to read every post. I am moving this to the general forum. As for the original question - there is no prize for number of posts. I want people to post because they have something to say, not because they want a prize.
