Dear Friends, Jackie needs help. Specifically she needs just eleven posts to reach her lifelong dream of attaining Pooh-Bahdom. So let's all pitch in and do our bit by making posts that she will be unable to avoid responding to. Her reticence may disguise it, but she will be forever grateful, I know.

suggestions:
1) gutter excursions
2) recruit newbies
3) effusive praise
4) disguise yourself as newbie
5) ... oh that oughta suffice

A-HEM: "Gentlemen", she said using the term loosely--nothing you can do will make me post. Not a thing.

Max--if you recall, "my dear", I do know a few things about you that you would prefer not to have revealed. You
wouldn't want me to let something "slip", now, would you???
'Cause you know exactly what I don't like, an' you did it anyway. You're skating on thin ice, Bub.

As for you, "Tsuwm", or whoever you are, oh ho ho--your suggestions are WAY off.

1) gutter excursions Ha! I can choose to ignore.
2) recruit newbies I have sent many a private welcome.
3) effusive praise Of...???
4) disguise yourself as newbie Any comment would be too revealing.
5) ... oh that oughta suffice Ran out of steam already, eh? Too bad...

Nope, there is nothing you can do to make me post.

[shaking-in-boots-emoticon] You're right, anything but that - I do retract in dust and ashes. Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea grovelling maxima culpa!

Gee, all us gossips all a-quiver trying to figure out what juicy bits of scandal are being hinted at.Now, Jackie, you must scold me for believing any scandal is involved.
Failure to do so would be an injustice to Max.

Oho, Dearest Bill, you think you're being sneaky, don't you?
Well, you can't get me to post, either!

Please, Jackie, you're being unfair to Max. You are notorious for fairness, as I am for silliness. I plead with you to make it clear there are no stains on Max's escutcheon or wherever they might accumulate.

Well, as to what's on Max's plate, I really can't say. And you, sweet Bill, still can't get me to post. However, there is one among us, who by the merest hint of a whim, could get me to post anything and everything, I am in such
admiration of this personage.

I'll put you out of your misery, Bill. Jackie is being chivalrous in refusing to reveal that one cannot even see my escutcheon, so heavily is it stained!
