Note the time stamp.

[NYC_SKP]

42. Wow. there were 11 replies in that thread with 7:31

In just that one thread.

I was pacing it an hour earlier, ten per minute for all of DU, roughly.

Ten in one minute in one thread was a rush to hit the special one.

I posted in a Lounge thread.

I don't have all night.....

[NYC_SKP]

33. OK, Canuckistanian...

To make up for it here's a quick link to POST a reply to that thread without waiting.

On my honor!
