On August 18, Yogi's records show I had 4013 posts. Since then, I've made 92 posts, so should have 4106, including this one. Instead, I have, with this one, 4501 posts.

I demand a recount!

I think the true figure is much more likely to be 4106 rather than the 4501 now showing. I'm going to have to start deleting stuff...

You can always search your posts and go through and delete the 395 posts you didn't make.

Or I can delete 395 posts I did make!

Maybe I should start with those old Retrospective threads I did last year....

Perhaps, owlice, you should just chalk it up to inflation, forget about it, and be

You mean this cop here is chasing a man just because the guy had a scale that weighed in Grams and Kilos????

Ann, it's a refference to weighing out and packaging illegal drugs. Much familiar term in the USA, unfortunately. I like your little animation.

That is right. Illegal drugs are packaged by the gram (1/4, 1/2 or full) for street sales and importeded by the Kilo

Hey neufer, how come in the post listings Beyond has a small b? Yeah, i know it's a small list, but there still should be a capital B.

Posted: **Tue Oct 04, 2011 8:09 pm**

Todays APOD has boosted the number of Asterisk (ab?)users to 6005.

Beyond & Ann have passed makc and are effectively at 2,000 each.
