Go for the Research Grant! What, precisely, would we be researching? OCD? Cult Recruitment?
GAS Dependence in the early 21 Century? Mass Psychosis? Preversion in males over 40 (...hot topic at the moment)?.... |

That form is known as
OCDEMAS-SF (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Extreme Musical Accessorization Syndrome-- Shopping Fixation)
The musical form is more rare in the female, mainly because there are other desirable objects that compete--jewelry, furs, shoes, etc. Obviously, I have a fairly severe case of the syndrome.
--Karen and the all the manifestations of the dreaded syndrome: 1111-4, CE868LX-4, Viper 1271, maple Tornado, American Strat, Guild D-50, Steinberger Spirit 5-string bass, Galiano mandolin, Vega 5-string banjo, fiddle of uncertain antecedents |

To make matters worse, when we moved back in June, we got a brand-new Dell with a 21" HD monitor and DSL, so I get to immerse myself in HiDefOvationLand twenty times faster... :eek: |

I personally think it's fitting that such a prodigenous poster of rebel rousing psycho babble doesn't even show up on the list. Just rewards is what I call it ...

Location: Phoenix AZ | Yeah poor SO. He wanted to freeze it at 5000. But he had to respond to a few a-holes trying to stomp on his legacy and it blew him a few posts over. He even tried deleting a few old ones to being the total back to 5k, but it doesn't work that way. Once your tally goes up, it does not come back down even if you delete your posts ...
SO, what that means is that we can all post all kinds of meaningless crap and blow up our totals and then just delete it and bingo, you've padded your count.
Try this, start a new topic. Respond to the topic with 10 posts (you'll have to wait 30 seconds to avoid the flood control). Then go back to the first post in the thread, delete it and all 10 posts go away, BUT you've blown up your count by 10. Do this once an hour, every day for a year ...
