    A Mystery.

    So. I noticed that the post count goes up on occasion with no new posts in the que. I was puzzled. How could the new post count go up with nobody posting anything?

    I watched, I waited, and I pondered. And I was rewarded. I strongly suspect a secret forum area for our mods to talk behind our backs :razz: and all those gossipy sorts of things that forum mods do.

    And then tonight, my watching paid off when I saw this.



    He is clearly viewing a thread, but which one? XMarks has a secret members only area...

    And now the men in black will come and delete this thread, which is why I have a screen shot of it. :grin:

    chasem, you stand on dread's right side, close your right eye.
    dread, keep your left eye close.

    sniper will shoot right between you.

    dread, you need to get some time away from the screen.

    Actually, I am as of right now, drinking some coffee, reading a book, (Our Dreaming Mind by Robert Van de Castle) chatting on here between the odd paragraph or three, and I am listening to The Horse and His Boy on audio cd from the library. On my other computer screen, I have an etext open about succubi and how they crush people in their sleep. (Which is probably some sort of night terrors, sleep apnea, or waking-sleep paralysis)

    Oh, and I am kicking the ball out in to the hallway ever so often for the dog as well as cracking the odd brazil nut when I have a free hand.

    Must stay busy or mind will be consumed with thoughts about pain.

    Actually, the men are in green not black. I only wear black when doing weddings or funerals. Have you no fashion sense?

    And you have caught me out. There are 375 levels to this forum (with 4,812 more to be installed tomorrow), only 1 of which you mere mortals can access. Levels 147 and 238 are the best ones, because on 147 there is a free supply of cold Guinness and on 238 an endless supply of Ardbeg. (Or was that whisky on 147???) Either way, our Illustrious Potentate is kind to us.

    Want in?

    One of the 230+ groups currently calling themselves the Knights Templar are guarding the key to the 2nd level and the key to the 3rd is in the sole of Jimmy Hoffa's right shoe. Hurry along now, so you can join us, soonest.

    Blast it all, Graham, you've sworn to never utter the word "fudge" on the 1st level. The Hidden Secrets of X Marks Manual clearly states that the word fudge can only be used on levels 67 and higher.

    Sheesh, now we've got to start all over again...

    You do nothing to defend your location, only offer chatter and confusing with no real information. Hmm. Typical.

    I am on to you...
