As you noted, I was already running into post limit issues, so I chose not to waste characters making a distinction only you and I would make.
I gotcha. I just wanted to clarify on that so that people didn't get the wrong impression. And yep, people can jump up on you very very quickly, plus your list goes down to below #1000 now, so... egad. As for the VP list, yes, it's hard to get ahead by much (especially for the 6.00s, none of which are about to hit anything above a 2% bonus... well, at least that situation has never happened yet O_O)... but I HAVE had to deal with similar situations on the top 50 b and p lists... and that's something you at least don't have to worry about as dealing with the EGRL takes care of the two top 50s automatically for you.
I am patiently waiting for Sunday, when I can hit level 17 without falling back. I could be level 17 right now, but it would end as soon as HT's deposit gets through the system, so I'm waiting to deposit a bit. #;-}>Grats on that =) I'm still about 3 weeks off from the chain and will have a few days of chain/pipe along the way ^^
Ugh... pipe. I'm gonna be so happy to see you get past that damned pipe and join jon in the lovely chainness.
Speaking of HT, as I was up there... I realised just an hour or two ago that I'm about to become the only person with more blam points AND more save points than HT has exp. No one else can lay claim to that, mwahaha!
And Tanner's not so very far off from being the only person with more posts than HT has exp. #;-}>

I didn't notice it until you pointed it out, actually, but I was only scanning messages to decide which ones to paste into notepad to reply to (and read more thoroughly at that point (well, THIS point, since I'm now IN notepad doing just that... heh!))...
miskey is probably the cutest word i've ever heard ^_^, also D0gma's right Cross i mean your base shall slightly increase with each deposit, and look at me i am getting a lot closer to the 7.50 than i thought i'd be, at least with comparing how short of a time my sign up date was ^_^
You just might be right about that... miskey... sounds kinda like misty... or maybe even a Russian word. Minsky!
"Hey, is that Minsky ____?"
"Why yes, it IS from Minsk, but I don't think people in Minsk call stuff from there Minsky, man."
"Oh, whoops!"

Too bad. #;-}>
Anyone remember who it was that's leaving for 4 weeks around 8/29 or so? I've been thinking about getting the top 500 list done a bit sooner than I expected to do it (which was around labor day) as a couple of my parents' old old friends are coming into the area from Switzerland, and we see them very rarely, and will probably be spending some time with them in either Austin or Houston around labor day...
short story short, it might be best to get the top 500 done a bit before September comes just so nothing gets put off more than I'd like it to, so I might be doing the top 500 this coming weekend. Could be even on the 28th, in time for whoever it is who mentioned 8/29... we'll see.
