your credibility blow through the ceiling! Your great posts (of which there seem to be many) are what I'd stick to if I was you.

Just sayin'.

3. Well, when someone asks
only two more recs needed, I do tend to put in the 4th r. But I also put in an r whenever I think a post warrants it.

10. And then make a point of telling everyone.
One is neurotic. But the other is just plain self righteous.


I'll tell you what I think it pathetic. I've been worried that I spend too much time on the other side of this. I just go to the Greatest page and tag along. Bandwagon, as it were. Just wait for the good posts, and then make a smart comment. When it's those who hang out on the Latest page who are the workers. But then there are those who actually do the work. They post new threads.

I know who I am. And I'm ashamed! Haha. Finally the subject of forum psychology has arrived. Hey, at least I know who I am.

20. Only if it's a topic that I think should be on the greatest page
I enjoy, in those situations, being the fifth recommender.
