    LOL. I posted, then saw your post above mine and made a quick edit. You must have been watching the thread like a hawk cause I was quick to edit. LOL.

    Yep, I was fooled... You got me. It was a good prank to bump a thread like this to see who was gonna read more than just the first few posts. LOL.

    It's also interesting to see how many people don't bother to check the dates on the thread.

    Sorry for that. I wasn't trying to "set up" anyone, I was just interested in the old thread.

    I did however think there was a chance that people would just start responding to the intial line by Hank without reading through the post. My rule of thumb is to always at least read the 1st and at least the most recent post before I chime in. I typically read the entire thread however if there are >100 posts I'll usually read the first page, and the last page and that'll usually help me decide if I want to read the whole thing.

    Again sorry about that. Wasn't trying to trap you.

    Oh, I wasn't implying you were. I thought it was funny as hell after I posted. I read the first page, then part of the second and though "I really don't want to read 2 more pages of everyone saying "keep it the same". So I went ahead and put my two cents at the end. I just failed to realize that the jar that had been placed to put the pennies had been removed. ;)

    Panache posted a thread in Off Topic that I am sure was inspired by this one.
