Ahh, but posts in OT don't count towards your 1,100 post count. Nice try, but I'm a veteran around here...if we counted all your OT posts, you'd be higher!

Look at me for example - if you go by my avatar, I've apparently only posted 1,614 times over the last 11 years...does anyone actually believe that?

HMMPH, Lectern, thank you very much.

IF you want a pool boy, discuss the dangers of finding one on BPOT with Lups

Real typers like myself chuckle while watching you and your little fingers searching for a key.

No searching here, my friend! I took the test twice and both times I realized I made a typo and had to backspace to erase and then correct, using valuable time. I'm compelled to correct them; I cant help myself, even at the expense of time.

That test really judges your ability to type without looking. As I sit here hunting and pecking my way through this post, knowing in my head what I'm going to type and not having to take my eyes off the keyboard to read, I'll bet I'm closer to 90 WPM. It's that reading and then typing that kills me. But really, when was the last time you had to do that? In the era of computers and copy/paste, the ability to read from a piece of paper and type is about as necessary as knowing how to hitch a horse to a wagon.

Really it was your "horse". That one you keep posting pics of while hiking (4-legged)

He doesn't like it when you make fun of him.

Well you wanted to read to me by the pool

I'm really scared if there is a Lups pool boy thread....
