Very inventive!
Another member likes it (Inquiring Minds Want To Know)!
Actually, I think that it’s so accurate that it’s almost scary – if you went back and viewed a lot of threads through the prism of the “101 members” description, there’ll be a high hit rate on matches!
Obviously, after reading so many threads/posts, Daddy-O recognized the patterns and compiled them (somewhat tongue in cheek)!
BTW Daddy-O, you misspelled “#@^%$#%$”.

Some types of personal attacks are sanctioned here and some aren't. I guess it's all about tact...
