Where I think you are going with this is post counts. These mean nothing to me and I think posting for the sake of it is daft. Pushed for specifics I would say that threads like the 'counting thread' are pointless (again only my opinion) and the palindrome posts in tpd are more than a little odd.Who are you referring?Originally posted by sasguru View Post

I do enjoy the joke thread despite trying to wind you up before about it.Originally posted by BrilloPad View PostI do hope you enjoyed the joke thread though? I did try to make my posts entertaining where possible.
Personally I enjoy the counting thread - I find it relaxing. I still post there even though it does not go towards post count. I understand other may find it odd.
I appreciate the sensible response.
