What in the world? This place up here must have pretty thin air. First, Jackie's Experiment thread climbs up--now down--for no reason at all and now Jackie is argh-brb'ing!

[Interesting story about the educated blind person, however, Jackie. My Uncle Jonah was blind and could play a banjo well. Nothing button-factorial about a banjo!]

I still would like to know what's the good of having higher hits than any other thread. Am I an idealist, or is it the quality of the hits that would be more desirable?
