I didn't mean to boast about getting there
first, or that I was better than anybody
else. My only purpose in that extra little
line was to make it more than a dull posting. 

I post in a forum, and whenever the forum is
empty becasue of a message dump, the first
few people post little harmless and funny
posts about being the first or second to
post. It has nothing to do with being the
best. It's just a case of not having a life,
and living with my computer.
