That's what the "Clear your lurker flag" post at the top of the forum is for, but I guess this works, too.

"Hello MAPNUT it appears that you have not posted ...."

Somebody needs to put some punctuation in this sentence after the name. Well, maybe this has been pointed out already; I haven't read all the previous 126 posts.

Inorder to forstall any labeling of a hidden and possably harmful agenda on my part, this message is written and posted.

Cover your ears, I'm about to sing. Apologies to Johnny Warman and Peter Gabriel, sung to the tune of the song "Screaming Jets" ...

I don't care what I'm labelled, I just don't see the point of the flag. If I have something to post I'll post it, if I don't I won't. What's the point of the flag?
