Look people, I think that after all of this, we have managed , at least in part, to prove CP5170's point. Its OK to post if you have something to say, but a post that says nothing is simply star hounding and should be stopped.

Setting numbered goals is rediculus, and pointless, and really is an abuse of this resource. This topic has gotten so bad, that people aren't even reading it any more, we just keep piling on junk to see the pile get bigger. Why bother typing numbers, just hit the space bar and enter, and we will get the message.

The STAR WARS ATTACK OF THE CLONES remark was two jokes in one. The red joke poked fun at the star hounding posts that this topic has spawned, while the blue joke was aimed at those posts that simply contain a number.

This topic has become a bad habit, which needs to be broken. I have been trying to convince people to stop posting to this topic for five pages now, but just when it seems to be fading from view, someone different grabs it, and brings it back to the top.

This is a forum for discussing issues of model railroading, and I don't remember the last time the word TRAIN was used in this topic.

There will be a new self help group forming immeadiately after this topic. Overposters Anonymous is an organization which can help "those with nothing to say" break the habit, and start a new life on the road to recovery.

So, come on people take the pledge with me! I PROMISE NEVER TO POST TO THIS TOPIC AGAIN. IF I EVER HAVE NOTHING TO SAY, I WILL NOT POST IT HERE!!

Ya, but you know what those guys over on the FSM forum are thinking don't you??? Their never ending story has racked up 546 post out of 2495 visits and the word game their playing is sitting at 751 posts out of 3255 visits. Yaaaaa, and they're thinking right about now that we can't catch up on our Never Ending Story, or this mind bender we've been posting on for more than a week now. I say we can, on both threads, WHOSE WITH ME??????YAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!![:D][:D][:D][wow][wow][yeah][yeah][yeah]Oh ya...........297
