    I guess thats why your post hasn't been modded UP for its terribly factual data, correct?

    Unlike you, who feels good about being modded up 1 to a 2, I don't feel the need to try and Karma Whore. I've had my fair share of 3s, 4s, and 5s on posts; more than enough to have my posts start at a 2 moderation. Karma Whoring is not necessary for me; if my posts get modded, they get modded, if they don't they don't. Either way I don't take enough time to check /. enough to bother most of the time. Recent health problems have given me a nice 3 week window (minimum), though to check and post on /. more often. Otherwise, half the time I am days late before I see a story I would have otherwise decided to post in, and by then, no one is reading, so there is little need to post for any reason.

    The bulk of what I said is true in the first three paragraphs the rest was fluff until the end.

    I'm sure that's how Dubbya sees his decision to go to war with Iraq, too. Everything he said was true, except for the parts he lied about or just spoke out of his ass about. Looks like you and the Idiot in Chief have a lot in common.

    Good job.
