Mike's "Placeholder" threads

For the usual suspects, these are teaser threads from the moderators to see who spams, so as tempting as it is to reply to the "Ignore for now", don't do it. You will reveal yourself as someone who spams.

The moderators have no idea who we are, so houghy, ving, asimov, ken & rocket boy, we are safe for now.....that is unless one of you lets the cat out of the bag!!!

You guys have too much time on your hands to discuss my placeholders

They're there in preparation for the reviews/articles that i'll be uploading to the site in the next day or two.

I have finished for the day but I am happy to lurk around from time to time when I am not in the middle of doing anything important at work. Is that why I am over 3000 posts??
