Hello, Lushguins! lazym here. I am posting this thread for the fabluous flickguy because MLs have access to a special feature that allows us to post the same thread in two regions at once. This post, and your replies, will appear in both the Austin and Houston lounges. Now, how’s that for space-age technology?
Participants Only
If you have signed up for the optional 2009 Lushguins vs. Crabs Challenge, this is the official Word Count Thread. You must post ONE TIME on this thread, so we can easily track your numbers and see your progress in real time.
ONLY if your name is on the official Challenge list here, please post to this thread JUST ONCE.
When everyone has posted to this thread, we will lock it for tracking purposes.
So please post only ONCE.
If you are not an official Challenge Participant, please do not post here.
Did we mention only posting here once, and only if you are an official 2009 Challenge participant?
