I may not know Wagner, but I do know you.
Five hours of posting today, your first oppor-
tunity to post in a few days, and you've made
19 posts.
In those 19 posts, you bashed the following
people in the following number of posts each:
Angela: 1111
Obama: 1111
Vaj: 111
Barry: 111
Jimbo: 1
Sal: 1
The other three posts were still you trying
to "win," but you didn't bash anyone here; they
were more along the lines of your "Can't attack
anybody so I've gotta defend somebody" style.
Just as a question, we're going to see altern-
atives to you riding into battle singing "Yo
ho, yo ho!" exactly when this week? :-)
