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? :-)
