    Good point. Er, that is, more precisely, ***.
    I changed my signature. The old one was too ridiculous.

    I think there might be one now. When I wrote a reply to my add in the sales section, I wrote ''sold'' and I told me I needed a minimum of 5x letter/digit/whatever. Is this new??

    The current minimum of 5 characters per post is actually less than the 8 we had before.

    Hey mookien , you're really in luck big time now by using +pi , per Steve's 5 character requirement .

    Let's do the math . With pi being calculated out in today's world to 10 trillion digits , then divide by 5 , that would be 2 trillion posts .

    If the + 1 post requirement for a free kilt is 10,000 posts , then that would equal this many free kilts ....... uhh , wait a minute I can't do the math anymore !

    Well , I can at least give you an estimate , it's more kilts than Hamish !

    Most scientific disciplines only require pi to six significant digits (3.14159) for an approximation. Anything more is just bragging.

    I agree with the idea that simply posting a '***' does not really contribute to the 'conversation'. That's why my post count is relatively low despite my having joined nearly 4 years ago.

    I've memorized it out to 20 decimal places. Does that give me bragging rights?

    Not sure about bragging rights. It certainly makes a statement though.

    If you see abbreviations, initials or acronyms you do not know the Xmarks FAQ section on abbreviations may help.

    it is always fun when threads devolve into absurdity (word? not sure). at least this one is not another "Pun fight."
