What are the odds this one getting to 100?

And here I was, fingers poised above keyboard ready to jump in and make the 100th post in this crucial thread .... providing it hadn't gone off topic by then of course.

What was the topic by the way????

Opening a thread. Discussing something. Closing the thread.

My bet is 99:1 that one of the sooooooo nice Mod will close this down with his 99th reply

I take that bet! More importantly i will know WHO pushed the red button if he does..

That would be worth another bet... which of the Mods will get the honour... maybe there is already a fight ongoing behind the scenes

Mr swiss1960, dont you think it would be inappropriate and show of low self esteem if you closed this topic at #99? In some strange way i feel you try to mean good.

Naaa, it's Christmas... I consider the close at #99 a present for the Mod

Thanks for your help... was about to loose track of what I'm writing about...

i still have no reason to believe this thread will close at 99. Many of the posters have been supportive. Only a few like yourself have been critical but surely not negative.

100+ doesn't mean much if the OP doesn't contribute more than the OP... IMHO. Plenty of more interesting threads wander off the plot every day. Why should this one be any different?

One should remain positive, even in the face of adversity.

With most topics that go over the magically figure some people read the opening page and then post. They fail to read what has been already stated

I feel misunderstood by you... all I'm doing is HELP the OP to get close to 100 as fast as possible... all the rest is out of my hands, as we all CLEARLY know that our so beloved and revered Mod's would never listen to any of us...

I sometimes feel a thread doesn't even really begin to warm up until it reaches the 150 mark.

There is a whole crew of insomniacs coming on TV shift in a few hours time.

Think of the non sleepers!

I think they do listen. They're just not always as entertained as we are.

Naaa, still holding on to my bet... but since I'm currently the only one who paid into the pot (cash only bets...), I'll be the winner anyway

I agree. But i didnt read any negative posts in here, so far.

When a red button is presented i get motivated instead of discouraged.

Only thing you paid is attention, fellow. I am grateful for that

This is a fair point. I'm sometimes guilty of that - but if a thread gets really long, are we obligated to read all of it before we respond to the OP...I know one can sometimes look like an ass by not doing so but is it wrong?

And I often don't agree with closing threads (tend to think they should die out due to lack of interest or a general feeling that it shouldn't be continued)...but I think it would be great if the Mods closed this thread at 99.

Don't forget that 99 is considered to be a lucky number in Thailand, so the op should also be grateful for my idea

Exception on this thread is you dont have to do your homework and read all the previous posts. So you want to see this closed at 99 as well?

thats 2 out of the 30 participants who felt the urge to tell this.

99 lucky?

So you desire the closing to be ON #99 or before #100. Technically i need 100 posts to reach this insane goal. Didnt you figure that our by now?

I was reading through and was about to post half way through but thought I'd better get to the end first and now I've forgotten what it was I was going to say.......Never mind I'll just be a number to count in passing.

Not that I would know... but when i saw his name, I thought I gonna help a fellow citizen to get close to his goal a bit faster

Thanks dude (assuming you weren't being sarcastic). You're a favorite poster of mine. Despite your failure to support the Close At 99 movement.

I quit! I will check next week if someone got to the magic 100. Bye!

See, something's happening already. I haven't read everyone's posts, but was the OP right? It's usually about now (in the 80's or so) that things start to go haywire and a mod may have cause to consider closing the thread

There is such a clamour for the mods to close the thread at #99, maybe it'll go to #98, or #101 (as in room #101??).... NOT that I am suggesting ANY of the mods would or could be so cruel or spiteful
