    I think you've both tied one on tonight. This sort of thing never happens at FORVM - they're all stone cold sober over there, lol.

    Sure. I'll be the designated driver, but I really don't think FORVM is ready for you, Steve.

    We could turn it into a betting pool. "How many posts before SteveX6 is tossed off Forvm?".

    While the site is certainly a valuable resource, apparently there is a very large rule book plus scores of unwritten protocols for posting. I mostly lurk.

    I always enjoy the rarities that everyone is able to pick out. I am more in the Steve line of collecting of: Is it cool? Yes! Can I afford it? No! Should I bid anyway? Definitely!
