I guess we have passed 100 now - but what is #1000? after doing my #855 I found several duplicates numbers (not reasons) in the first 500 so I guess if it is the same in th last 500 around 990 is really #1000. I also read through the first 500 (I have made some comments in my #855) and I was suprised to see that there was very few duplicate reasons if any. I saw a few twist and turns around the same issues but they were really not the same reasons - although 149 1/2 and 150 are quite the same (not sure about the numbers but one was numbered with 1/2 and the next by another poster was stating almost exactly the same. (the 1/2 one was from rockHEAD) ------------------ We can reach our destination, but it's still a ways away.
the story behind the half, if i recall correctly is... if you go back and look, Vengeance and I posted the same thought at almost the same time. One minute apart. Both our posts start with 149 and Tacoma Park Legend's ends with 149. Vengeance changed his I guess not noticing that TPL's ended in 149. I would've been 150 and his first post would've have followed with 151. So, before I could change mine and by the time I noticed several people had already posted and Vengeance's post was changed and I was stuck with the extra 149 ... so I changed it to a half and left both our threads instead of deleting it... i just left it. I could've edited and left it blank or something... but never did... <whew> so... there it is.. the story behind the half. visit: The Psychedelic Groove House of Rockets Basketball Love [This message has been edited by rockHEAD (edited April 28, 2001).]
