    In the Prius V section...

    Thus... my postcount shall forever be tainted with another figure that is more than 5213...

    It was my fault entirely...

    I... I... I was just saying something off the top of my head and before I realized what had happened... I hit the submit button and ruined my own number...

    I did this totally sober from my workstation between sips of tea and chewing on almonds...

    For my penance... I shall view arbitrary posts troughout PC and give 1000 thanks to posters that I will not comment on...

    I cannot believe I let this slip from my grasp... but... I am human... and thus, falable... and I shall not be able to recover from my error...

    Because I do not have the power to remove it... I will be scarred by my own hand...

    1000 lashes, err Thanks I shall give before I sleep on Sunday...

    And may you never suffer the same fate as I, to have held my own fate and yet tossed it so carelessly aside to simply give an opinion to a friend from multiple forums, about the newest version of this fine little car.

    Rather than feeling bad, you might consider the Buddhist idea that all is change, nothing is permanent. IOW, it was actually not cosmically possible for 5,213 to remain forever, or even to remain for a short while. Just as the Plank length is the smallest anything can be, the amm0bob length is the longest span of time that 5,213 can be. It's an immutable physical law. If you had not posted in the Prius v section when you did, time would have had to stop until you did.

    So cheer up.

    I make a point of posting from time to time in the car forums so that time will not stop on my account, out of a fundamental cosmic need to increment my post count.

    I ahhhh... still have to say Bra... my momentary lapse of reason was not on behest of my usual fuel... as noted in the pic I posted...

    So perhaps, as you mentioned, I should look more deeply into why I allowed myself to err, when my intent was truly to remain vigilant and resolute in maintaining a static number from which to preach my minor discontent...

    Thank you for your time Bra... as usual, you make a point for one side of the issue...

    I however, must try to negotiate through the number line until I find some other reason to forgo the incremental notation of participation in this fine little forum.

    And I will post a thousand thanks a week until I do.

    Say, maybe the mods, or Danny, could decrement your post number. Possibly by deleting an old post. (At the risk of giving the lie to everything I said in my post above.) Of course, that would make people wonder what this thread is all about.

    While I believe you are correct, in that a Mod could remedy my situation, I do not believe that it is of any interest to them to enable my futile ramblings about inclusion as a poster even when residing almost exclusively in the place that was designed to remove non-car related posts from the other forums in here...

    Also, I must add... I would kinda feel uncomfortable with continuing my claim of the number if it had been manipulated by an act of "moderation"... cause, ahhhhmmmm... I think that would also imply I am willing to cheat a little... and me Bra... I don't cheat... sometimes that means life sucks watching the winners, still, in my world - Jr doesn't cheat, lie or steal (not since I am a man anyways, I can't say I was a perfect child, but I will say I intend to be as good and as honest a man as I can be, for my own sake, not for the sake of others, but for my own mind... which many here have pointed out isn't as straight and narrow as they are)... :D

    There must be a rollover count in this forum software (just like an odometer). Just need to find out what that value is and then start some serious posting to return to 5213.

    Thanks Bra... but it still sounds kinda like me trying to game the system... and I don't want to do that...

    I am sorta miffed at myself though... I had some plans for the anniversary of when the post counts stopped... now... it's just a distant whim...

    :pout:

    Because I was thinking about saying something to another member I also know from another forum I frequent...

    Such is life...

    I will pay better attention if I ever think of another number to become enamored with... I kinda liked the 5213 thing...

    Well, the bright side is that now you can post in the other forums if you ever feel like it.

    5231? Dyslexics among us won't notice.

    Well... since most of the problems of my little car are well represented here... I really don't have a whole hell of a lot to say that some other inquiring mind hasn't posed in the past... regardless of how unique I think my problem is...

    In addition... I have had numerous posts, that were about a topic previously asked, closed by the powers that be, because it was a dupe... and rather than get in another pissing contest with a mod (which, BTW, is not ever recommended, regardless of how right you may believe your position is) I now choose to search and read what I can find in the forums for content... and when I want to say something, I find it will be most relevant and have a higher probability of remaining if I use Freds instead.

    5213 was a mediocre number, wasn't even prime. 5231, on the other hand, in addition to being an interesting dyslexic variant of 5213, happens to be prime. Ratchet yourself to 5231, just not all at once - remember, getting there is half the fun. And take a breather at 5227, which is the only prime between 5213 and 5231. There, don't you feel better already?

    And DON'T thank me. THAT will indicate that you do! :D

    Hmmmm... a prime...

    You may have a new number for me Bra... but... I have to admit... 5213 was a number I had in mind many days before I ever landed here...

    Still... a prime... :D

    Again... APK has some insight to what makes Jr tick... [​IMG]

    A prime... :D:D

    And I will say thanks anyways Bra... :thumb::thumb:

    A thousand a week until I find a new one to count... [​IMG] unless... I run out of posters... which... after yours Bra... may not mean I hit everyone that's ever posted here.

    Thank you for the direction/suggestion Bra. :yo:
