Tempting...

Witchfinder · 23-11-2003, 19:38

I've been a member of this forum since it started. In fact, I was a member before it started, back in the days when we were all slumming it over at VWVortex. Now I'm approaching 490 posts, and I'm feeling the urge to "cheap" my way to 500 posts, as certain less reputable members of our community have done *ahem*

So, acceptable practice or deadly sin?

fwiw rob, i've always thought that your posts belong firmly in the 'quality not quantity' description.

why change the (good) habit of a lifetime?!

Patience Grasshopper. Your time will come.

Anyway, why are you asking us? You've already started.

I remember when you were just a little nipper in your Polo etc etc :p

Huck · 23-11-2003, 19:46

plus you might feel dirty and cheap........

I admire your "quality before quantity" philosophy - but nobody's going to complain about a little, er, let's say "exuberance" before a milestone.

You won't be the first...

What was the question, Rob?

KentStu · 24-11-2003, 12:09
