Hey! What do you mean by that?? Just because I like fun posts more than serious ones :P

[pygmalion]

There's room for all of us here, from serious to silly. That's what makes DF such a fun place. 8) :D

[danceguy]

Yippie! Horray for being silly! Horray for Dance Forums! :mrgreen: :tongue: :mrgreen:

I'm still confused about being named as the biggest flirt though! I can't imagine how I got voted for that?!?!?!?! :oops: :shock: 8) :shock: :oops: :nope:

Those are all very nice... and quite useful around here but I had something more like this in mind

http://swingmonkey.com/phpBB2/images/smiles/brow.gif

it just says sooo much! ... especially when dealing with shamelessly flirtatious and insincere guys

[SDsalsaguy]

Glad you all enjoyed the DF Awards! :D

Everyone was *very* creative though, so they turned out to be a lot more work than I'd anticipated... :shock: :lol:

Hug smiley . . . have you looked in www.smileycentral.com ???
They have some great hugs . . .

[SDsalsaguy]

Figures.

One day after winning most in need of an avatar and guess who has one now... :?

Hopefully we shouldn't read too much into Jenn's selsection... with that whole "one ring to rule them all" and what not. :shock: :wink: :lol:

[pygmalion]

I snail mailed my photo to my twin sister for scanning and uploading, so any day now, you folks will actually know what I look like! :D :shock: 8) :lol:

[SDsalsaguy]

Umm, Jenn? There are photos of you (albeit not close ups) in the photo album...

[brujo]

I snail mailed my photo to my twin sister for scanning and uploading, so any day now, you folks will actually know what I look like! :D :shock: 8) :lol:

Why don't you just ask your twin sister to scan and upload one of herself and save some postage?

:shock: :lol:

(Now that was funny!)

[salsarhythms]

LOL Brujo

[danceguy]

Cool Pygmalion! I never knew which one was you...somebody (Vince I think) mentioned a red dress, but there were two ladies wearing red dresses in those photos...it wasn't until SD pointed you out that I knew which one was you. :)

Come to think of it, I think we've seen pictures of everyone here...well there's one of SK but she's wearing a costume. :wink:

SG

[MadamSamba]

Oh, that was soooo funny, SD!!! I agree with ScorpionGuy...HOORAY for being silly!!! :)

LOL! How did I miss this conversation? Um. Fine. SO it's been four months and no avatar. Well excuuuuse me. I had more pressing work to do in the service of DF. But if you guys want me distracted by trivialities, so be it! :lol: :lol: One avatar on the way.

[pygmalion]

Okay. Did anybody find a hug smiley?
Hug smiley . . . have you looked in www.smileycentral.com ???
They have some great hugs . . .

eek! I can't figure out how to download the darn thing. I found some nice hugs on smileycentral. Now I just have to figure out how to download. Updates to come.

[Taita]

Now that you have an avatar....

Does this mean you'll have to forfeit your award? :wink:

Thank you for the award, it was an honor just being nominated :D

[Vince A]

I use them on Yahoo all the time, but I couldn't download them either!

Usually, all I do is right click on the picture and go into 'properties' and copy that down, then re-write them into our avatar section . . . but even that is not working.

We need one of computer experts involved here???????????

[SDsalsaguy]

Now that you have an avatar....

Does this mean you'll have to forfeit your award? :wink:
Nope . . . because it was a 2003 DF award and her avatar is a 2004 occurrence. She certainly has forfeited any claim to that award for 2004 though . . . :wink:

Thank you for the award, it was an honor just being nominated :D
You deserved it! :D

[Vince A]

SD, are you going to remember this for next December???

By that time, you'll have to write the categories down for us, and let us start filling in the names . . . of course, to save some time, you can always just fill in my name in the same slots again . . . :D

[SDsalsaguy]

First off, I figure that by next year the DF awards are going to be larger than a one-person effort Vince. As far as remembering any of this, who needs too? It's not like this thread won't still be available for reference! :wink:

Identity Award – For Best Combined Alias/Avatar/Tagline Swing Kitten


Woo Hoo! Although I must say Phil Owl's got his theme going on!

[bee_kisses]

Wow! You guys almost have every kind of award there is! Except I don't see a "best kisser" :ladiesma: Ya hear that SG?

[Vince A]

Wow! You guys almost have every kind of award there is! Except I don't see a "best kisser" :ladiesma: Ya hear that SG?
The proof . . .?

[danceguy]

Wow! You guys almost have every kind of award there is! Except I don't see a "best kisser" Ya hear that SG?

Welcome to Dance Forums bee_kisser! I'm simply the best flirt (or worst depending on who you're talking to)...and I haven't kissed any of the ladies here (not yet at any rate!), but even if I had I'm not the type to kiss and tell. :wink:

:kissme: :) :kissme:

[SDsalsaguy]

Yeah, and the only members I've met through DF are Vince and msc . . . and I'm not personally inclined to test out their kissing prowess! :shock: :lol: :lol: :lol:

[NeoDevin]

Yeah, and the only members I've met through DF are Vince and msc . . . and I'm not personally inclined to test out their kissing prowess! :shock: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Now that I'd pay to see! :lol:

Why would scorpionguy get the award for best kisser when I'm here?

[danceguy]

Watch it boy. :evil: :P :evil:

[NeoDevin]

Watch it boy. :evil: :P :evil:

... You think you're a better kisser than me?!? :shock:


Only one way to settle this!!!!

All DF ladies must visit each of us, then they will vote on who is the best kisser. :D :ladiesma:

[Swing Kitten]

:roll:

... do we have a gagging smilie? :?

[danceguy]

Think I'll pass on this one...I only like to kiss one lady at a time. I'd probably just end up getting slapped repeatedly....
:oops: :shock: :oops:

[NeoDevin]

Ok, see SK, you can stop gagging now, you don't have to kiss him... Everyone can still come to kiss me though :lol:

[Swing Kitten]

:nope:

:hack::hack:

[NeoDevin]

Awww, shucks. Any other takers? BBG? pygmalion? MissAlyssa?... ...


:( now you made me sad

[Swing Kitten]

don't take it so hard Devin... there are thousands of people with whom you may be insincere-- don't worry! :D

[NeoDevin]

Like who?

[Swing Kitten]

like the chick in the picture with you for example... the world is full of them! ... thry all deserve better :shrug: but that has little to do with me

[SwinginBoo]

Congratulations to everyone! This was a really cute idea.

I'm striving to be the person with the most posts for this year. Yup and I'm really close to passing pygmalion....only 3156 more posts to go! :D

[pygmalion]

Don't sweat it, Swingin Boo. I'm cutting back this year. Honest! :lol: :lol:

[Vince A]

Yeah, and the only members I've met through DF are Vince and msc . . . and I'm not personally inclined to test out their kissing prowess! :shock: :lol: :lol: :lol:
Neo is willing to pay!!!

See??? I told you there would be money in giving lessons!!!!!!! Where's Mark when you need him?

[Vince A]

Don't sweat it, Swingin Boo. I'm cutting back this year. Honest! :lol: :lol:

[Puss'nBoots]

Did I miss it? Was there an award for the best dance number performed from the front seat of a vehicle? UHHHH, Ahhhh, what, you mean I was not nominated? What has this Forum come to? I almost ran into a family of ducks trying to cross the street just to win this award, and not even a mention..................HA HA HA......CONGRATS to all the WEINERS!!

Dammit, I missed all the fun posts too!! Mind you, I'm intrigued to know who'll win the best kisser award!!! :) he he he...besides, Neo, what makes you think only a boy could win it? :lol:

[dancersdreamland]

I feel it very important at this point in time to make this announcement...

The award for closest birthday...first, is this referring to day like 11 is close to 13 OR is this referring to date as in April 4, 1975 is close to March 7, 1975?

If the closest birthday is in fact going by day (the first option listed above), then it is my duty to report there may in fact be an error in the award as jenibelle and I share the exact same birthDAY (not year)...TODAY!!!!

:D

Biggest Flirt
Scopionguy!



This is funny! All the biggest flirts I know are either scorpions or geminis!

I guess it must be to do with where the moon is, in relation to the sun when jupiter is transcending venus :roll: or something like that :lol:

[NeoDevin]

Don't worry, I think I've got that one for next year :)

And I'm aquarius.

[Swing Kitten]

he's been trying very hard at it too!

[pygmalion]

Hey Neo Devin. What's with your signature line? Is everything okay? :?

[NeoDevin]

Yeah, everything's fine... that's a line from a song I like, and I've just been too busy to find something new since I put it up.

[MapleLeaf Salsero]

:shock: And why was I not nominated for anything? :shock:

[SDsalsaguy]

Ummm, couldn't be becuase you joined in 2004, now could it? :lol: :lol:

[TemptressToo]

When are we going to do the 2004 Awards?

[Sagitta]

Last time the request for nominations was sent out at the end of the previous year. So, I think the 2004 awards are still a few months away.

[SDsalsaguy]

Yup, the 2004 awards are still quite a way off... especiallys as we still have a lot of 2004 to go! :wink:

[Swing Kitten]

so who's in the running for df flirt again?

[Sagitta]

Sabor, Dancepoet....

[SDsalsaguy]

so who's in the running for df flirt again?
Silly SK! I just said that the 2004 awards were still quite a way off... :roll: :lol:

[MapleLeaf Salsero]

Ummm, couldn't be becuase you joined in 2004, now could it? :lol: :lol:

Well OK SD, but this year I expect at least one nomination. How about "the most willing to be nominated" award. :wink: :wink:

[SDsalsaguy]

Nominations are "open," so feel free to nominate yourself accordingly... when the time comes!!! :wink: :lol: :lol: :lol:

[pygmalion]

[DancePoet]

SK wrote: "so who's in the running for df flirt again?"

followed by Sagitta writing: "Sabor, Dancepoet ..."

Really? Do I really have a shot with Sabor? Besides, what about Pacion or GR?

(I suppose this depends on how this is measured and who is nominating/voting.)

SD: How do we make nominations?

[SDsalsaguy]

SD: How do we make nominations?
WHEN I solicit nominations for the 2004 DF Awards instructions will be given... :lol:

(Hold yourt horses everyone, we've still got over five(!) months left in 2004! :lol: :lol: )

[DancingMommy]

I say we nominate MapleLeaf Salsero for "ost likely to jump the gun for a nomination for 2004 DF Awards", lol! 8)

:shock: And why was I not nominated for anything? :shock:
Ummm, couldn't be becuase you joined in 2004, now could it? :lol: :lol:

:shock: :lol: Yes, I think I agree with DancingMommy on this one :lol:

[Pacion]

SD: How do we make nominations?
WHEN I solicit nominations for the 2004 DF Awards instructions will be given... :lol:

(Hold yourt horses everyone, we've still got over five(!) months left in 2004! :lol: :lol: )

Yes! But every good election candidate knows, there is flirting, I mean campaign plans :lol: have to be made, speechs, kissing of babies, shaking of hands, photo opportunites etc all have to be orchestrated/organised :wink:

[MapleLeaf Salsero]

I say we nominate MapleLeaf Salsero for "ost likely to jump the gun for a nomination for 2004 DF Awards", lol! 8)

Hmm... Good one DancingMommy. I accept the nomination. :wink: If I win, I promise my speech won´t last more than 4 hours. 8)

:shock: What? No awards for the 1st semester of 2004? :shock:

[SDsalsaguy]

...and that you won't give it before the award is announced? :wink: :lol:

[MapleLeaf Salsero]

...and that you won't give it before the award is announced? :wink: :lol:

Well SD, I´ll try very hard not to. It will be difficult though... 8)

[Pacion]

:idea: Here's a thought for the length of acceptance speeches :lol: You get one second for every 10 posts you have made by the time awards are announced. So for instance, MapleLeaf currently has 405 posts. Therefore, he gets 40.5 seconds which converts into :roll: :roll: where's my calculator :wink: :lol: 40.5 seconds for his acceptance speech :lol:

Now if the award winner MapleLeaf has say 9813 posts(Pygmalion's current total :wink: ) then he would have 981.3 seconds which means more than 15mins for his speech :shock:



Looks like the formula might need some more work - maybe make it one second for every 100 posts :lol:

[Sagitta]

Damm!!!

First you give me another reason to do more posts a day...ummm...participate in a constructive fashion, and then you take it away the next second. :(

[Pacion]

:lol: There I was, thinking of the greater good! Just think (oh, I can't bear the thought :oops: ) 9813 minutes would mean an acceptance speech of over 163 hours :!: :almost seven days @ 24hrs a day ~ longer if it is limited to 8hrs a day :shock:


:nope: Even for MapleLeaf, I will have to get it out on video/DVD :oops: :wink:

[pygmalion]

I categorically refuse to start a 2004 DF awards thread. Absolutely refuse. So there. :tongue: :lol:

Before anyone gets any bright ( :lol: ) ideas, the official 2004 thread will appear in due time...

:shock: Who us? Bright ideas? :shock: MapleLeaf, about that acceptance speech :twisted: :lol:

Me thinks you protest too much Pygamlion :lol: anyway, with at least 150+ hours of Acceptance Speech time, shouldn't you start writing :roll: and no, you can not spell it out and say a letter per minute :wink:

I think Pacion should be the host this year. :wink:

I´m going to vote for Pygmalion for the life acheivement award for all she´s done for the DF.

I´m going to vote for Pygmalion for the life acheivement award for all she´s done for the DF.

Speeches??? I'd rather see you all dance. I don't want to go to a dance-forums award ceremony to sit for hours. I want to see everyone get up and start busting moves.

Don't sweat it. I don't do acceptance speeches. I've won an award or two in my day, and generally, I say, "Thank you." That's about my limit. What's that speech length? Four seconds? You coudn't even do a cross body lead in that amount of time. :wink: :lol:

[MacMoto]

　Speeches??? I'd rather see you all dance. I don't want to go to a dance-forums award ceremony to sit for hours. I want to see everyone get up and start busting moves.
I'm with you, etchuck. How about a dance from each award winner instead of a speech? Each winner nominates a partner of his/her choice and does a showcase.

Okay, in your case, if you hit 10,000* by the time SD gets round to doing the official thread :lol: (and the counter is still going :wink: ) then maybe an exception can be discussed :wink: :lol:

* I have vague recollections of an article from the Internet Bubble/Boomtime - a few people who work at DowJones broke out into a sweat, unsure if the technology could handle one of the DowJones Indices going over 10,000 because surprise, surprise it had never done that before :lol:


[oops! This post should have come immediately after Pygmalion's post :wink: but either way, the pressure is still on --------------- SD :twisted: ]

Forget about it, sister. I'll probably hit 10000 sometime next week. :roll: :lol:

Wow. I'm already at 9862. (Those first 5000 posts go so quick!! :lol:) I may hit ten grand this weekend. :shock: That's only 138 posts, and I do a lot of my posting with new topics on Saturday and Sunday mornings. Hmm. :roll: :wink:

You are making me think about this. Arghhh!!!!! :car:

I couldn't resist. My scientific curiosity was aroused. I wondered what assumptions were guiding that statement. With an average of 2 posts more a day then moi...it would take quite a while. I actually should have checked your posts and see how many posts a day you were making. If you were increasing the number of posts you made every day, over time, then MPS's statement might be a more credible one. I couldn't be bothered - so you can see I still don't take these things seriously. :)

[pygmalion]

Ah ha! It's not the average (mean) number of posts you have to worry about here. It's the rolling average. Meaning, unless Pacion does something drastic, the average (mean) number of posts from Pacion's joining date will change very little, especially since she's been a member for a long time. However, if she has recently increased her posting level dramatically, the average number of posts over the last couple of weeks (the rolling average) might be significantly higher than the mean over the past several months.

The short of it is, she's gaining on us. :shock: :lol:

[Danish Guy]

Forget about it, sister. I'll probably hit 10000 sometime next week. :roll: :lol:

I will (when time comes) nominate Pygmalion to the most heavily addicted award. http://www.clandisa.dk/forum/images/spin_125.gif

(when time comes)
Thanks for that DG! :cheers:

[danceguy]

Hmm, I hadn't realized that this thread had been resurrected again. You folks are all so impatient! As I recall, I received an award for giving the most DF nominations...so y'all better watch it as I've got my eyes on you! 8)

Swing Kitten - I'm definitely out of the loop for DF Flirt...no way I could compete with Sabor and the others. Mine will most likey be "never finished the DF FairyTale,", to the chagrin of many and the joy of a few other folks. ;) :shock: :? :D

What are the categories for the 2004 awards? Are they the same as they were in 2003, at the beginning of the thread? Or can we suggest new categories?

[SDsalsaguy]

Oh for G-d's sake! :headwall: :wink:

Seriously, nominations will, as in 2003, be open... meaning you can nominate anyone for anything. Note, this doesn't mean an automatic award…at least two independent nominations were required for the 2003 awards and, given the growth of the DF since then, 3 or more may be the cut-off for 2004.

OK??? Now would you all go back to something not premature??? Please??? :lol:

[pygmalion]

Told ya he wasn't going to like it. :lol:

He's right, though. If I remember correctly, the majority of the 2003 award winners hadn't even joined DF by July, myself included. SO perhaps we should wait ... just a little. :wink:

SD's not going to like this!!! :lol:

So Purr. What were those other categories you were thinking of? :lol:

(SD, you know I am only playing. I know that you are not thinking of anything else until such time as your dissertation is complete. So, for enquiring minds when do you have to complete it by? Then we can resurrect this thread :twisted: :lol: )

[SDsalsaguy]

Alas, I will have to think of this before the dissertation is complete, I'm afraid... ideally I'll have a rough draft done by New Years, but the final draft won't be complete until at least next June... :shock: :shock: :shock:

[Purr]

So Purr. What were those other categories you were thinking of? :lol:

Hummmm....I'll reflect on this (pathetic, isn't is?)....and send my suggestions in a PM to the appropriate party as to not cause any more controversy. :oops:

[pygmalion]

The thing is. Almost anything that makes sense today will be totally irrelevant by December. *shrug* So why not wait a while? Hmm? :roll: :wink: :)

[Swing Kitten]

so a person could be concidered the flirt of the year (for example) by just kicking it into high gear in November?

Besides, if you ask SD, he will probably tell you that he is looking younger since I joined, more wrinkles (from the laughter), but still younger :lol:

[etchuck]

Well it's too late to suggest awards for just the first six months of 2004. Sounds like all of you guys are too swamped to do that.

Not that I'd win anything, of course.

[pygmalion]

Sure you would. How about outstanding dance mentor and organizer?

[Sabor]

SOoo.. are the categories for the 2004 the same as they were in 2003, or can we suggest new categories?

[danceguy]

how did you read that into my post?

Come to me, don't run away
You desire me mucho, I've heard you say.

I've got flowers, candy and new satin sheets,
Whatever you need, I've got it, sweets.

My job pays well, my car is fast,
And all those other women, they're in the past.

Your beauty entralls me, your passion sings pure,
How much longer without you can I endure?

Come to me, carina, don't hesitate no more
Let us dance all night, on a dim-lit floor.

Once in my arms, this romantic tryst
Come to me my love, for you've been missed.

Yes, yes, yes...most impressive. I'd love to find a guy that would write me poetry. :wink:

[danceguy]

Ask and ye shall receive.

For Purr

My words can only say so much
Never can describe your touch.

Thunder speaks, and mountains roar
The ocean breaks, on a far distant shore.

A scent of jasmine fills the air
Deep in my heart, I find you there.

One to speak, in silence now
Forever burning, please show me how.

The road is far, softly blows the wind
To find myself in your arms, once again.

True many may find my words untrue,
Since I've never seen or met you.

So let the others say what they must,
In love the say, its hard to trust.

As so above, the sky is blue
My eyes weep alone, thinking of you.

SG

[Purr]

Thank you, SG, you made my day! Your poem is the best thing anyone's ever written for me.

Purr, yes, that was beautiful what SG wrote. :D

SG, just for the record, :roll: all flirting done in this thread does not count towards the nominations :wink:

Does this mean I can't nominate SG for poet laureate of DF?

Nope! This is supposed to be a serious thread :roll: :roll: :roll:



Hey! And just why not? I was serious about SG's nomination.

There once was a girl from Down Under
Who now was pursued with great wonder
By a guy from the U.S.
With honest flirtaeousness,
And a rose, and a dance,
And some simple romance,
While waiting for lightning and thunder!

(Hmmm ... this could qualify for a few 2004 DF Awards nominations.) ;)

[Vince A]

So is every one here this silly!???! :shock:
In all seriousness, these guys must be taken very serious, for any less serious quips would tend to display their seriousness as insincerity!

[pygmalion]

Huh? I'm totally confused.


My answer is yes, these people are quite often just this silly. But, within and around the silliness, they fit real, honest and serious answers to your dance-related questions. It's not hard to tell the difference, if you read emoticon. :wink: LOL.

[Pacion]

Yes, I am confused too! I only post. I don't read :D :lol:

[DancePoet]

Pacion: LOL!

Vince A: You seriously confused me! ;)

[Pacion]

So, what is the collective noun for a group of confused people? Confucius? :wink: :lol:

[PunkDancer]

wow! so random. :roll: :)

[DancingMommy]

Oh no - we are never random... We are incredibly calculated - so calculated that we are able to appear random. 8)

So this award thing is a regular thing? :?:

[cl5814]

So this award thing is a regular thing? :?:

Supposed to be a once a year thing, but some people just can't wait..... we are only halfway through the year.

[DancingMommy]

Au contraire mon ami! We are now at 27 July 2004... That would make us 209 days into the year. Which if I am correct would be 57.3% of the year has passed thereby being more than half. :P :twisted:

[Vince A]

So, what is the collective noun for a group of confused people? Confucius? :wink: :lol:
. . . er, um . . . "moderators?"

All things in moderation, Vince... All things in moderation....

This is for all those who are getting a little itchy and want to begin keeping track of possible nominations. (Hope SD doesn't mind I've listed these here, and doesn't cause anymore head banging on his part.)

I encourage folks to print and keep track of their nominations. Sorry SD, but you likely have your work cut out for you. Let me know if I can help.)

There once was a girl from Down Under
Who now was pursued with great wonder
By a guy from the U.S.
With honest flirtaeousness,
And a rose, and a dance,
And some simple romance,
While waiting for lightning and thunder!

Great stuff! :P :D

I had made a post about this last night but it got zorched and I was too tired to redo it. For a limerick though, you need to have 5 lines, not 7! 8)

Let me give you a few examples:

There once was a man known as Vince,
Who danced WCS like a Prince.
His sugar pushed with such class,
As he wiggled his ass,
That his friends all thought he was crass.

There once was a young man named Jon,
Who wrote his thesis from dusk until dawn.
His brain then stopped thinking,
Which drove him to drinking,
Why he did this I have not an inkling.

There once was a man called Sabor
Who danced on a dimly lit floor.
From the land of the Pharohs,
Came this smooth dancing Salsero,
His eyes touching women to their marrow.

Thanks for the compliment! To be honest, this was originally intended to be a limerick, yet it turned into more. Perhaps poetic license would be a good phrase for it. ;)

And I enjoyed your limericks as well!

:shock: rotfl :lol:

I think I saw one for a shoe fanatic :roll: ooohhhh! I want to make my nominations now, whilst my memory is still fresh :lol:

[DancePoet]

Pacion:

All the names of awards came from SD's original post for this thread.

Also, I'm going to print this list out and start keeping a list of contenders. The problem is this list is so long, it will be difficult to remember what is on it. I'll be posting away, and probably fly past possible candidates for nominations with out even knowing it unless I periodically review the list. If lots of folks do this, oh my! It might be a nightmare to tabulate the results. Hence my offer to SD of help if he needs it.

[SDsalsaguy]

Yes it was (and will be) a big job…especially as "categories" are open. You can nominate anyone for anything DF related. A certain threshold of nominations will need to come in for a category to become active, but there isn't anything set in stone. Also, just as an FYI, the category was for most plugs of a *personal* website, not a business related site…

Thanks for the offered assistance DP, and I may, indeed, take you up on it… :wink:

[pygmalion]

This is totally out of control!!! It's only July! :shock: :lol:

[SDsalsaguy]

Yes Jenn, exactly my point... :headwall: :headwall: :wink:

Hey SD! From the number of times I have seen you doing this => :headwall: I am surprised that the wall has not caved in as yet :wink:

Pygmalion, didn't you say that you start your Christmas shopping early :wink:

Hey SD! From the number of times I have seen you doing this => :headwall: I am surprised that the wall has not caved in as yet :wink:

I'm getting a little concerned, too.

Pygmalion, didn't you say that you start your Christmas shopping early :wink:

It's never too early to start Christmas shopping. Hallmark has their ornament display out already! :wink:

Pygmalion, didn't you say that you start your Christmas shopping early :wink:

Why exactly is it too early, again? I'm getting fuzzy here.

(And please, no more head banging. I'll be the one with the headache.)

[SDsalsaguy]

It is too early because we're barely half way through 2004! But, just for you, I'll leave off the head banging... from this one post! :wink:
