Looking forward to your comments!

Uh oh...don't start something that will be taken the wrong way John. I suggest you hunker down, start reading and responding to every blog in sight! That will get your points up! Just my thoughts. Anyway, seems I'm first on your blog so I guess this will be...what...3 points? or 5? I have no idea! But do go read and respond to other blogs.

here's 5 to help you get started....

seems I'm first on your blog

Nyah, Nyah, Nyah!  Beat you by a click.

This reeks of point whoring again.

You are quite right. My quest is different. I seek to be nothing more than 0.

I want to be nothing.

Uh oh...don't start something that will be taken the wrong way John.

I though about that in detail. Then I realized they would have to punish half the bloggers here at one point or another.

*Insert BakerStreet-esque comment about caring about points and rankings here*



PS - Congrats on getting off restriction.

congrats john, now all ya have to do is write a super article that gets featured and you are on your way.

Thanks!

This is that article. I need you to make it go to the top. (and I have been featured once beforeLink woohoo for me)

This is that article.

No, this is not that article. Think of it this way, John. Here at JoeUser, we offer our blogs like products for sale. If people like to buy them, we make money. Good advertising can pay off if its a good product, but otherwise it's just annoying to everybody else. Here, you're saying "I'm in debt, so give me money for no reason so I can not be in debt." If that worked, the world would be a different place entirely.

Which is not to say that people aren't willing to help. I'm more than happy to chip in five points. But I'd rather you put energy into making a good blog where I'm happy to spend my time (and points) over and over again. So instead of begging for charity, earn your way back. You'll have my support, and I suspect that I don't speak only for myself.

Dan is right.  But your inside view of La is gold!  Write a bang up one on that, and I am sure it will be featured.

Or LW and I can do a Jane Curtain/Dan Akroyd deal on your blog.

Interesting concept and consider your wisdom taken to heart.

This is a joke! Or in the very least it is meant to be a silly way to give my first comment back to the person who likes me most.

I doubt you actually read me with any regularity. I have 63 articles under my belt; some of them are pure fluff, some are meant to be inflammatory. The big thing is that in a year I haven't done that much. Most of what I have written has been while I was confined. I am just not that motivated usually to put my own stuff out there. Sorry if you find that disappointing.

*Sigh*..... Why ya' gotta' do this? You just got off confinement, and this is the first article you post?  You do remember why you lost all those points, right?  Point whoring is never appreciated.  Plenty of people have been warned or had articles removed from the forums that consisted of basically a plea for points. Points should be earned because of the interest in the article, not because you asked people to give you points. I will hope that you do the right thing.
