Faustus Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 THROUGH TOPICS THAT Got the least number of replies. This is like mining for gold.

If it's really interesting, and has received no comments, and is from a sound source I'll C&P it to a word-doc and work on a response over time. After all it's no longer active, so I can work and do research at my liesure. Ursus 1) I don't even bother reading threads if they don't interest me.

Kosmo Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 Often I agree with a post and I find nothing to comment. Emoticons are useful at that moment but someone has the monopoly...
