Wow! Over 1300 people who sign up and then never contributed.

Reminds me of when I bought a copy of Microsquish's FrontPage !

I spent over $200 on this program thinking ya, this is the stuff, now I can at least put up a web page.... Then I got home installed it and found I had nothing to say... :oops:


I heard a statistic once that 53% of people have problems with fractions...
53%! jeez! That's got to be almost half!

:boggle:

Well, I heard that 10/7 of all people don't understand fractions at all.

Tell us something.: Been a fluter, citternist, and uilleann piper; committed now to the way of the harp.

Oh, yeah: also a mod here, not a spammer. A matter of opinion, perhaps.

Nor am I, Denny...<sigh> ...and by the time I get there, 1K may be a non-event anyway; there'll likely be 10K posters. Eeek!
