My goal is to have 2,000 posts by Festival time! (Wink)
I talked about fluffing a while back, and MB and I will eventually be coming up with a guideline that will address it (TIME??? We don't need no stinkin' time! ), but that's only because we feel we've been backed into a corner, and this is a separate issue from the posting limit and one that you as well as most posters shouldn't have to worry about. Fluffing is easy to spot, and any cousin guilty of the practice knows that they're doing it.
I guess I should define it again, especially since it's a term with multiple meanings outside of internet posting boards. Fluffing occurs when members attempt to inflate their post totals in order to gain a more prestigious title on the forums. We're not attempting to judge the content of messages; if a poster wants to merely post "LOL" or a smiley because that's how they want to express themselves at that time, then by all means they should do it. What makes a message problematic is its intent-- if the poster is clicking submit with the purpose of upping their own total, they're fluffing. This doesn't enhance the board, it does waste bandwidth as well as the time of everyone that reads these posts, and it ticks off the moderator.
I hope I didn't confuse anyone! And I didn't mean to come across like I'm lecturing, or that I'm only addressing one person. (Cheesy)
A solo (or "pure") piano version of the entire composition, "Ode to Angelique," is included on the fourth (I think) of the series of CDs of Dark Shadows soundtrack cues that were, once upon a time, distributed by MPI.
