"If that's the only reason you consider the rankings important, then why (a) complain about your ranking,"

To be perfectly honest, I've never even considered rankings before. I think the only time I've ever really checked them out was when I first became a "member" of this board (oh, and today when I realized I was a "Member"). As a "Stranger", I used them to sort out who-was-who.

"(b) attempt to brute-force increase your post count in this thread?

Tony, I know you're the Admin so, in fairness and if you are serious, you may remove my posts from this thread from my total # of posts. I am not trying to artificially "brute-force" my post count. The reason I started this thread in the first place was strictly for entertainment purposes (no animals were used during testing). However, I sort of dig the "Whiner" title (had me ROFLOL), so can I keep it for a while?
