2. Hey, I Appreciated it.

:) DU should have a "how many times read" count for posts.

[Qanisqineq]

3. Thanks anakin!

I agree. There is another board that I visit that posts how many times a thread is read.

BTW, my husband is a HUGE Star Wars fan. HUGE. :)

5. Thank you! This is very good!

They made the same point on "The Daily Show," but your list is much more complete!:D

7. I can't take credit for it

I just got it from a friend. Author unknown. But thanks, I thought it was worth a read but it sunk earlier today. Maybe GD would have been a better forum? It is kind of a joke, yet not really. :shrug:

[Rhiannon12866]

8. I think that it would have fit in either forum

The Lounge, because it is amusing, and GD because these are serious issues that are looming right in front of us and deserve serious discussion. Times are getting really scary. I think that we joke about these things to try to get past the fear.
:scared:

On edit: I know what it's like to have a thread sink like a stone. I scrambled to post this news story in LBN on Friday morning, thinking it was an important one. Apparently, a militant group in Iraq is threatening any Iraqi who attempts to vote in the proposed election. I didn't get one reply.:shrug:

9. LOL! That's great !

Thanks for posting.

10. At least we all got to vote one last time

Not that it mattered or that they were counted fairly, but it's something we can tell our children about. They won't believe there used to be a thing called "voting", but we can tell them anyway.
