I wonder if we could get a freebie for posting a new thread or two in ‘humor’ or ‘suggestions’, over and above the one new thread per week limit?
Like, is THIS post my one thread for the week?
Would a joke be my one thread?
One thread to lead them all and on the Forum bind them?? 
Hey Dave
How about we institute a sort of barter system, whereby members who don’t post very often can ‘trade’ a thread with those who have a lot to get off their chests. So, for example, Thor ‘Fingers’ Thorgerson from Boise, Idaho, who joined the forum in 1908 but has never opened his mouth, could post a thread on, say, Christian symbolism in early episodes of The Simpsons on my behalf, thereby allowing me to initiate a discussion on a very important subject without using up my thread quota for the week. Thor Thorgerson would get the kudos for thinking up a brilliant discussion subject, and everybody’s happy.
Cheers
Johnny
PS You just used up your thread quota for the week making a plea for lenience in the thread quota for the week rule.
I know…I was counting on leniency. Hoping for some ‘easy grace’. 
The barter system is ingenious but perhaps not that workable?
You’re right, Dave. Thor Thorgerson just PM’d me and said it wouldn’t work. Surprised to hear from him, obviously .
And hey, big moment looming for you - your 1,000th post is imminent!
Cheers

i did not know that. How cool would it be to hit 999 posts and just stay there?? 
Ultra cool. But I bet you $1,000 cash in hand right now you couldn’t do it .
And I also observe that we are approaching 1,000 members - 990 right now and counting. Could we be about to witness an extraordinary moment of synchronicity, Dave Bagwill’s 1,000th post coinciding with our 1,000th member joining - kind of like the alignment of the planets in 2001 A Space Odyssey?
Or perhaps not …
PS I think you’ll find ‘humor’ is actually spelt ‘humour’ Dave. Check out the OED.
And ‘spelt’ is actually spelled - “spelled”
The confluence of the 1,000’s would be, I don’t know, just plain weird. I am now thinking up dozens of aliases to make that happen.
You’re now in a bind, mate. Use up your last five posts before the 1,000 and you blow it. Can you bear the tension?!
You see what I did there? Tried to goad you into posting.
Only four left now …
Yes — In Great Britain and Canada (where I live).
But in the good, old. U.S. of A.?——— “humor”.
You can actually test whether a person was raised in the U.S. by asking him to pronounce “shone”. A U.S. person pronounces it to rhyme with “bone”.
We in Canada, and also in Great Britain, pronounce it to rhyme with “gone”.
Yeah, I worked with a gal from Canada who pronounced ‘scone’ (phone) as ‘scon’ (con). There is no call for that, since American is the mother tongue.
Thanks for the suggests. I’ve added the Report a problem or suggest a way to improve the forum to the list of exceptions. I can see the other ideas have some merit so I’ll discuss them further with the Mod/Adms 
Thanks, Alex.
Why not post again on a humour thread you’ve already started I put loads of jokes onto just two threads.
Okay!!
Hi Dave,
