Since I'm going to win this thread, and I am a moderator, that statement is obviously false.

In the future you may not be a moderator. You may decide that the burdens of moderation are too much. You may even decide that winning is not worth the effort and give up on this thread.

pdurrant · 10-18-2011, 09:09 AM

The first might happen. The second is also possible. The third? Never!

What you failed to mention in the above diatribe is that you are a mouse, a foppish mouse at that. There are so many reason why you will not win, but that should be sufficient to convince even you - pea-brained rodent that you are - that you cannot win. My advice, and I say this as a friend who has your best interests at heart, is to give up now before you cause further embarrassment to yourself, your Moderator colleagues and the whole Mobileread community.

If a stern talking to from a nun doesn't scare one off...

pdurrant · 10-18-2011, 09:19 AM

Thank you for your touching, but misplaced, concern.

HomeInMyShoes · 10-18-2011, 09:21 AM

In this thread, nothing is misplaced.

pdurrant · 10-18-2011, 09:22 AM

I'll agree that the last post is in the right place — my possession. I win.

HomeInMyShoes · 10-18-2011, 09:23 AM

Possession is only nine-tenths of the law.

pdurrant · 10-18-2011, 09:34 AM

The only law here is the first post.

I disagree.

Here we go again. We "persons" may sometimes ascribe personhood to some animals - but never to mice, never to ferrets and never to oven mitts. Post as much as you like but you cannot, by the terms of the first post, win.

pdurrant · 10-18-2011, 09:41 AM

Nonsense. I'm as much a person as you are.

HomeInMyShoes · 10-18-2011, 09:44 AM

Technically, all of the avatars are actually just pictures. Equating an avatar to the real entity making the post is at best a 25% chance even for gender.

pdurrant · 10-18-2011, 09:57 AM

I think your probability calculation is in error.

What's not in error is that I'm winning!
