I'd put Bill D and a few others close to the top. Several near the bottom. Most in the middle somewhere.

Did you mean 'fit' Jack?
Interesting, but I'm wondering why the pyramid shape. Do those at the bottom represent the majority, working up to the least frequently-used methods at the apex? Or are they in order of desirability? I flatter myself perhaps, but I'd like to think I come under the counter-argument type.

sadly too many posters here on the lower levels, but then again some think I am on the lower levels because I don't agree with them!.

Yes but you can never be on the higher levels pete because you bow to a higher authority. Humility and guilt stifle personal development.

I, on the other hand sit on top with the pinnacle of the pyramid stuck firmly up my arse.

On balance, I find being perfect an asset.

its probably English irony bill !. but it is an amusing picture of musket balancing his humble self on the point of a pyramid.
of course another English expression that comes to mind , which I,m not sure translates over the pond is "a pain in the ..."

Oh, it translates just fine, Pete.. with the minor difference in spelling.

(I do appreciate being noticed as one who at least tries...)

I can do the works depending upon the manners of others. I mean, if ya gotta talk to people in a language they understand, is it really stooping to their level or is it kickin ass on their level?

Anyone who knows me knows I prefer kickin ass only when required and I have done it many times herein and only rued such a few times, usually through misinterpretation and ALWAYS apologized for such. So, that there triangle don't cover all my bases.

My best virtue is being right. Everything else is gravy.

""The Graham cracker was conceived of as a health food as part of the Graham Diet, a regimen to suppress what he considered unhealthy carnal urges… Graham would often lecture about the adverse effects of masturbation or "self-abuse" as it was commonly called at the time."

Different Graham, different century, Ed. Creepy, though. Kellogg had the same idea about his Corn Flakes.

No need for me to name names, pete 7*...cherry picked stats posted, and the exclusion, or dismissal of others (IMO, designed to demonize homosexuals and the homosexual community) speak loudly on their own. If no one comes to your mind, after deep reflection, so be it 7*.

Ed is pissed off pete, as it becomes obvious to many that he is simply a very incompetent troll.
I said he was slightly devious, but I shouldn't have bothered really :0)

Lurking about again, ake. No one mentioned your name...did they?

Is this the same ake, who calls out others and runs to (mom)-mods for name calling and making personal insults? I guess the crows come home to roost. Seems like just another case of ake-doubletalk.
