"random postings by a select few"

Heh! That's exactly what the MOABS is. Over time the MOABS thread devolved into a tiny little private club of about 6 or 7 people who drop in on a regular basis simply because it has become habitual for them to do so. The only thing that relieves their narcissisistic, nattering, nabobistic nepotism is the occasional visit from William Shatner!

Dare we hope that this thread may become something similar...yet much more democratic and far less elitist...a thread for ALL, not just for some! Let that be our watchword, our inspiration, our credo, and our sacred mission. After all, it takes a hell of a lot of posters to rack up 85 billion posts, so we cannot afford to be elitist snobs now, can we?
