Only when I screw up, or for Illuminati meetings. Sometimes asking me to start a " free so and so thread."

And the usual spam from slowwy.

ACK!

That's because you make it seem like you're "reasonable" and will negotiate. I cut that problem out, so then they go whine to you since you're the "reasonable" one.

(Almost) every day. Often several a day. I probably get more PMs than emails these days (not counting spam, of course).

Never. People hate me. I'm sure my name would fade from Apolyton if I didn't have my habit of sticking around like some alcoholic diva too drunk to know the spotlight has been turned off.

I have been getting many more PMs from Rah all of a sudden.

Sometimes one or two a week, sometimes none for a month. Meh. Enough. Plus of course, I have to host IWS quite frequently ...

Once every two weeks or so.

I get many more PMs when I'm banned, because I send PMs much more often as well

Do you think deposed African leaders and Penis Enlargement ads go hand-In-Hand?

I wasnt sure..what with the "Myth" about deposed African leaders being more of a man so to speak??
