i try to maintain a 3.5 average. i've often found myself typing an entire reply and then just closing the window cuz it was too pointless. but, i do let the worthless post slip through every once and again.

1 easily. You should all thank whatever diety you worship for the wisdom that pours from my keyboard into this cesspool.

I'd give myself a 4, but if you're all 3-4ish then I've gotta be about a 6 or 7. Yes, I know the scale goes to 5 :p
