Re: Last Person to Post Wins

Here's an interesting twist. If it's obviously designed to get the thread closed, (breaking the rules etc.) that post will be forfeited. (deleted)

Re: Last Person to Post Wins

The satisfaction of knowing that there's another way to kill time and waste resources besides playing Solitaire at the office? (In Windows, of course.)

Re: Last Person to Post Wins

And just when I though I wasn't going to encounter any spam in my trip through the forums tonight..

Psssttt... You all do realize that Dan has already stacked the odds of winning in his favor, don't you?

Re: Last Person to Post Wins

Do watchful Administrators win by default, since they would post last... with the close of the thread?

If not, how does one post... as to elicit the close of a thread yet not be deleted?

How does this work?

Is there any control as a lowly poster... or are we at your mercy... Dan

Re: Last Person to Post Wins

How the heck should I know? Pete's the one what dreamed up the concept. Although I suspect he may have had some ethanol based assistance. <....>

Re: Last Person to Post Wins

This does seem to be a pointless effort...

one lowly post-er vs the admin team...

not good odds of success
