I find you a very annoying presence, and I try to avoid your posts whenever possible. But I gotta ask: what do you get out of clicking on your own posts dozens, scores, maybe hundreds of times? (cf how many other members also avoid any threads started by you* vis-a-vis the number of hits on other threads.) The same gratification you get out of replying to yourself, creating sock puppets, etc? Give it a rest, man. This is a place to discuss words, not to indulge in self-gratifying logorrhea.

*and then there are the folks who have left this board altogether because of you, but that's another story
