You've done it now! The moment I saw your thread's headline I knew what would follow, and so did every other veteran Freeper--that's why they've all jumped in: a naive question if ever there was one.
Several are predicting 1,000 posts on this thread, but really it could go 5-10,000 or more. If so, you'll be a celebrity! If it hits 20-30,000 you'll be a legend, though not for having done anything important and like Buckhead and tankerkc, but just for being you.
Been getting your post response statistics from NOLA Mayor Nagin? :)
