The same. Siv.

What was your post count ?
5200+, I don't remember the exact number. Lately, I haven't been posting much, if at all ... but used to be a PF addict not so long ago. Was a time when I was way ahead of Zero in post counts but then I got busy with work [:p]

What was your avatar ?
A lovely DNA strand. I've always been rather partial to DNA/genes/evolution ...

How are you feeling ?
Hmmm... Well I like the look and feel of the new PF. Its more like some of those other good forums like Internal Infidels etc.

I had (Ibelieve) 1309 posts but I'm not quite sure.


My avatar was and still is Boba Fett but I think i might use the new feature and get my own



Yes I am tired of answering these questions :wink:

Actually, your post count was 1334 (I had to set short-term goals, like "get on the first page of the Member's Board" - and, since you were at the bottom of the first page, I tried hard to pass you (and succeded) before we changed:smile: ). I don't normally care very much about post counts, but the fact that we were changing over, made me want to post like mad.

What's your old/new username ?
The one and only, J-Man, other than the other J-Mans on a few other boards, e-mails, etc...

What was your post count ?
Don't know. Don't care.

What was your avatar ?
I don't need no stinkin' avatar. (After all, I'm one of the few J-Mans.)

How are you feeling ?
Froody.
