| [I like Downtowns response: it's so correctly fencing.]
Okay: how many fencers does it take to change a lightbulb.
I'll say 8 for a good change.
One needs to stand back a bit to watch the proceedings.
Two need to place a ladder for the bulb change,
One needs to chart the event
and Four for the Lighting Committee to review and reseed the lightbulb for the next round.

I don't recall seeing:
1 to misquote and twist the events of the past into some modern day inaccurate account usually involving Pescados666. OR
1 to post as many superfluous things as enter her mind just to raise her post count.

It only makes sense to post randomly in there. It's to acheive the goal of the masses. It's for the good of the people. It's in the name of foil. Maybe you should post there more and help achieve that goal?
