It's kind of amazing how frequently people complain about the rankings. As if they're not a) all in good fun and 2) something every single messageboard on the internet does.

it's kind of amazing that it didn't even take "ass engineer" to set this guy off, he couldn't even handle "intern".

david, please search the TOMB forum for similar posts as yours, and familiarize yourself with the common features of messageboards.

Who cares, really? No sense of humor? No one else takes the ranks literally...I guarantee the quality of your posts are more likely to affect your TOMB respect than the ranks...

I think you way outrank Steve Albini (as far as the messageboard thing). He's got, like, 6 posts.

You should wear your low post count as a badge of honor and try to keep it from growing.

In fact, with a post count at or below 50, I'd say you are in pretty good company.

No, only high counts are good. get fired and post more, till your fingers bleed.

This forum is a m?bius strip sometimes...

Say, look I have increased my post count by one, and decreased my credibility even more! Amazing!
