Except for the glue and paint fumes.

                        No stars! Wel, I do hope we keep post-counts. As I explained above, I feel they have a limited function in organization of the forum.

                        That's true but it nice to know if someone is a novice on the forum.
                        Sometimes novices need a few pointers on where to ask questions and other forum related matters (no advertising, buying, selling etc.)


                        True enough! Look at me 522 posts and 3 stars. I'm confused with somebody who knows something, all the time! Big Smile [:D]Tongue [:P]

                        Spurdog, I didn't mean anything nasty (and I didn't really know!), But I hope you enjoy yourself here!

                        So long folks!

                        Just curious. I agree that quality of topics is more important than quantity.Tongue [:P]
