Now, why don’t “the obligatory seven of you” just cast your obligatory down-votes, as you inevitably do to everything that I happen to post here, and try to be a little less concerned as you usually are that I once-again dared to post here at all?
Why the quote marks? It seems that you're just quoting yourself again, and nobody else. Looks like a pure narcissistic exercise.

Otherwise, although this really doesn't matter, I did not downvote your previous post on this thread (I down vote posts rarely, even yours, and your post did not deserve any down vote IMHO), but, to tell the truth, I did upvote some of “the obligatory seven" who answered you. Especially LanX's post that really made me laugh.
