The "cue the foo posts in 3, 2, 1..." posts will commence with no subsequent foo posts in 3, 2, 1...
Your post would be much easier to understand if your sig came first.
But if we hadn't waited on software perfection, we wouldn't all be playing Duke Nukem Forever on top of the GNU Hurd.
Liberals call everyone Nazis yet they are the closest thing to it.
