He has to be in first. But, then, I guess we know where he si.
When you do something and it results in something you do not like, most folks just would not do it again.
Of course, I am just talking about the bookmark confession. As for your real question, there is no setting that will change it that I am aware of. Whether it always resets the count depends on which breed of gremlins is working that shift. If you view a person's posts on a thread in batch mode, it does not reset their peoplemarked post count. If you view it as an individual post, it does reset the count.
That si the way it si until so long as attention is focused on is. But, maybe I have that backwards. <g>

Carroll Shelby International Inc. (OTCBB: GSGF)
And speaking of racing, today's feature, Carroll Shelby International, Inc., blends the race track of the stock market with one of the elite names in high performance automobiles. We are ecstatic to be able to introduce to you one of the premiere American motorcar companies and its new publicly traded "vehicle."
Shelby announced early this month that it has signed a definitive agreement with Ginseng Forest Inc. (OTCBB:GSGF) [to read the entire news release, [click here,] under which Ginseng will acquire Carroll Shelby Licensing Inc. and Shelby Automobiles Inc. The company also announced it will change it's name to Carroll Shelby International, Inc. upon closing of the deal, which is expected by the end of June. Under the new public company parent, Carroll Shelby Automobiles, Inc. and Carroll Shelby Licensing Inc. will aggressively pursue new licensing channels for it's historic and famous intellectual properties and hallmark Shelby and Cobra brands.
This merger will provide the capital resources needed to expand the Shelby and Cobra brands through licensing and the acquisition of automotive and performance companies that have the quality and reputation to be associated with the only authentic Shelby Cobra manufacturer in the United States.
As the motion picture 2 Fast 2 Furious races to success in theaters nationwide, more than ever, street racing and hot rods are the coolest cars on the road. But for over 40 years Shelby has been the leader in manufacturing street and performance vehicles.
Carroll Shelby's long and illustrious career in the automobile industry includes being a driver, owner, team manager, designer, manufacturer and consultant. His legacy stretches back over 50 years of accomplishments both on and off the track.
Early in his career, some of Carroll Shelby's accomplishments as a driver included breaking land speed records at Bonneville for Austin Healey in 1954 and being the first American driver to win the 24-hours of LeMans in 1959. When his health caused him to abandon his driving career in 1960, Carroll got out of the driver's seat and turned his attention to design, manufacturing and performance. He had a vision for the automotive industry that would change the concept of the American sportscar and he went for it full throttle. Carroll's vision has had a tremendous impact on the sportscar world ever since, with the greatest impact being the development of the Cobra and the Mustang. Carroll Shelby is probably the only person to have worked at a visible level with all three of the major American Automobile manufacturers.
Various Shelby companies are now being organized under one public entity to be named Carroll Shelby International, Inc., collectively referred to as "Shelby." By taking the Shelby companies public, management will have access to the resources of the capital markets enabling the company to further develop and execute its plans for growth and expansion.
Carroll Shelby Licensing Inc., founded in 1988, is the exclusive holder of automotive manufacturer and entrepreneur Carroll Shelby's trademarks and vehicle design rights, which include some of the world's most famous muscle cars and high-performance vehicles, including the car that brought home to the U.S. it's first and only FIA World Manufacturers Championship in 1965, the famous Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe. It also holds trademark rights for Shelby-branded apparel, accessories and collectibles.
Under the auspices of renowned racer, automobile manufacturer, and entrepreneur Carroll Shelby, Shelby Automobiles Inc. is building the latest in a long line of performance cars. Shelby Automobiles Inc. manufacturers the legendary Shelby Cobras, and will be involved in special car manufacturing, design and engineering projects, and plans to further increase production and availability of these historic cars through an expanded dealer network and direct sales under a license agreement with Carroll Shelby Licensing Inc.
Cobra - The Shelby Cobra is the most replicated car in the world. The company currently manufactures three versions of the Shelby Cobra (289 Street Car, 289 FIA and 427 S/C) the 289 FIA and 427 S/C are available with either fiberglass or aluminum bodies with the 289 Street Car in fiberglass only.
The Performance Division which currently offers the sale and installation of aftermarket products such as superchargers, brake upgrades and handling enhancements is planning to expand to all suitable car manufactures. By developing performance parts for the exploding "pocket rocket" market, such as the Ford Focus, the company plans to enter a market several fold larger than it enjoys today. The potent brand equity of the Shelby name will attract media exposure to help drive demand and elevate brand awareness. These products are set to be rolled out through the company's Performance Products Catalog and distributed nationally and internationally.
Carroll Shelby has been involved in the automobile racing industry as a successful driver and team manager for decades and during this time has manufactured both on and off track cars. He has also worked as a consultant on some of the auto industry's most entrepreneurial projects.
After leaving the Army Air Corps in WWII, Mr. Shelby joined the Aston Martin racing team in the 1950s. In 1958, teamed with Roy Salvadori, he won the famed LeMans 24 Hours for Aston Martin, giving the team its only victory in the long-distance classic and setting a new race record of 112.569 mph average for the event.
One year after his LeMans victory, Mr. Shelby was forced to give up race car driving for health reasons, turning his attention to building cars - and creating what is still considered one of the fastest road cars ever, the Shelby Cobra. The 289 and 427 Cobra models and the subsequent GT 350 and GT 500 Shelby Mustangs that Mr. Shelby built for Ford made him a household name. Mr. Shelby then built the special Cobra Daytona Coupes, which captured the FIA World Manufacturer's Championship in 1965. The next year a Shelby-led group of Ford GT 40s beat Ferrari at LeMans, putting him back in the winner's circle, this time as a manufacturer with two consecutive victories at the famed 24-Hour classic, in 1966 and 1967.
September 1964 - The first '65 Shelby Mustang GT350 race cars and street cars are built.
In the early 1980s, Lee Iacocca, the Chairman of Chrysler, selected Mr. Shelby to create a high-performance image for Chrysler. November 1982 - Prototype Dodge Shelby Chargers are built and displayed.
Between 1983 and 1989, Shelby created a series of Chrysler-Dodge high-performance vehicles, including envisioning and inaugurating the prototype work on what ultimately became the Dodge Viper.
In 1990, Mr. Shelby launched his Can-Am Spec Racer, an affordable racing car for entry-level competitors which was sanctioned as a separate racing category by the Sports Car Club of American. The next few years brought Mr. Shelby a number of accolades, including his induction into the International and the Michigan Motorsports Halls of Fame, and his selection as the official pace car driver of the Viper that started the 1991 Indy 500 race.
1995 - Shelby produces CSX4000 Series 427 Cobra S/C Roadsters. 1997 - Shelby designs and manufacturers the Shelby Series 1 sports car. 1998 - Shelby creates the (Super Pursuit) S.P. 360 high performance sport utility vehicle.
In the 1990s, Mr. Shelby began another manufacturing project, the CSX4000 series Cobra S/C Roadsters. Currently, Mr. Shelby is building a lineup of performance cars including the CSX7000 series Cobras.
In October 1998, Shelby American opened its newest manufacturing facility at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway's Research and Development Center. Shelby finally has a testing ground right outside the factory! From this new state of the art facility, the company is producing new lines of the Cobra 427 S/C (CSX4000-Series) and Cobra 289 FIA (CSX7000-Series) component vehicles along with the new Series 1 roadster (CSX5000-Series). Each car is numbered and the Series 1 production will be limited to only 500 vehicles in order to keep its investment value as high as possible.

His responsibilities will include; global brand extension and positioning, all sales, marketing, advertising and branding opportunities, strategic partnerships and programs, existing and new product development, market and business plan development.

I think that idea may land at SI first....<g>

Speaking of usage of the language.....that is really more detail than we needed.
Where the hades is Freud when you need him? Slipping around the shower closet?
That is pretty much the lesson I have given my kids when it comes to betting. It also teaches them to listen more closely to what is really said rather than what they think they heard.
Applying the 95% rule:
You have to reach for the right place to cop a feel.
Shake it more than once, and you'd better hope your not near the showers.
Pretty crappy
Looks like I got pretty close...

Happy BD BG.
Of course, I had to take a break in the middle of reading that. Fortunately, I was at home and not at work.
I have a friend at work who will ask anyone, anytime in the bathroom, "Hey, how about a courtesy flush" when things get odiferous.
Bill might not have needed Monica is Hillary had assumed that position more often.
Idea:
Many folks never see upgrades and changes to IBoxes, at least in part because they don't know it has changed. This could be changed with something that automatically created a post on the thread anytime the IBox was changed. Alternatively, this could be a COB option. Choosing "Notify Board" would post a message that the IBox has been edited or changed.
Nite John Boy.
So what is Mmmary's last name?
Cumm-ins; which is what one gets shortly after a squirrel shot. Then again, perhaps I am confusing squirrels and beavers.
I wonder if there is some relationship between her squirrel fetish and her Matt and Churak fetish?

Spoken like a true former inmate!
You did not say that you wanted real service! That costs double.
That sounds like my wife's excuse!
I suppose it would be better if they didn't think about you, regardless of whether they billed you for it?
Let's start with: because you cannot read!! Start with the Ibox, dufus. When you graduate to kindergarten, try the TOU.
Or, you do not care enough to do so and so long as that is true you will remain here.
Shush...why would let anyone want to let details get in the way of a good storey, er defense.
Edit:
Oops...meant that as a PM.
If I had grown a few more inches and made it to seven feet, the American Basketball Association might have had the opportunity to be proud of me. As it is, I am nothing more than another semi-tall man who suffers from the dreaded "White Men Can't Jump Syndrome."
With a separate fee for each personality, you betcha!!
It is part of Matt's master plan to expand your (and other EDIger's) horizons. A bit of time here and EDIG will start to look good to you (or, if you were long, if might not look so good after all).
You do have one positive thing going for you: you are the first inmate in a while to post directly to Matt with his first post. There must he some hope!!
Edit: Oops. Looks like you might suffer from the dreaded, and often terminal, MPD. Do any of them like SOAP?
Ditto -- just by an hour and a half more. Carp!
Well, that depends. Are any of them HUGE things?

Thanks -- after I wrote that and while taking one of those phone surveys, it dawned on me. One of those, "Duh!!" moments.
Whenever Bob gets back, a "Keep" link of the FAQ boards would be nice. I frequently forget some of the tags and being able to "Keep" that page along with my other links would be nice.
