Regulars in our forums will recognize the name "BigDaddyJ", and I'm thrilled to announce that the real person behind that handle, Janak Parekh, will be joining our team of correspondents on a 90-day trial basis. He'll be helping with general items, and I'm sure his thought-provoking style will create some interesting discussions. Please put your virtual hands together and welcome Janak!

Ha!

To pass Ed you are going to have to drop from two loners to one liners, if you are ever going to have a chance. :)

I think he's referring to the "rank" - you being a Thinker. Jason has programmed it so that you won't outdo the defined ranks for, shall we say, quite a while :). (I finally got to see the behind-the-scenes settings in this place... no, I can't tell you ;))

Cool -- for now, that makes me the #1 poster on the site not assoiciated with the site. :-D

Well, at least until ThomasC22 gets busy again. :lol:

Take advantage of his disappearance this week, I think he has finals. ;)

LOL!!! :lol:

Funny, I was just thinking about that conversation we had not more than a week or two ago. Ed is still the ultimate in Circus Freakery (I'll excuse Jason b/c he owns the site), but you've been further stepping up your activity the last few days, so in time... :wink:

I have full confidence in your overall Freakiness potential...

PPCT is like Google now? :cry: So what if you have thousands of users constantly trying to break the UserRank algorithms, how is that evil, why must you keep it a secret??

Just keep on posting, and the secrets shall be revealed to 'ye. :D No amount of Google searching will yield their PageRank algorithm (well, you can build approximate algorithms, but it is constantly-changing).

I have full confidence in your overall Freakiness potential...
Thanks :)

Thanks. :-) Being blissfully unemployed helps a lot with my posting frequency (much to the chagrin of some :-D).

And, yes, back when you had 250 or so posts and I had fewer, I wondered how you could post so much. Now I guess I've found out how. :lol:
