    Have a look in the Moneysaving Arms board and see how many posts there ar congratulating people on their post count and thnaks count. Some people seem to take it very seriously, as do I so make sure you all thank me for this very useful post! :rolleyes:
    It's my problem, it's my problem
    If I feel the need to hide
    And it's my problem if I have no friends
    And feel I want to die

    why not just register a new name? 'losing' a few posts and a few thanks is hardly the end of the world?
