PARTICIPATION REPORT 7 Mar. 2010 -- Visits:54,027 Searches:12,250 Additions:14,433 Registrants:249.
Only three participants have gotten the picture and added at least 20 phrases - 'Buzznomic', 'civgenius' and 'martinlewis' (moi).
FYI If you add a phrase and can't find it in two days, then assume it is in Quarantine for one of these reasons: misspelled, unacceptable, unfamiliar to the web site's manager or not found on the first page of major search engines.
Knowing full well that this list of phrases is just the tip of the iceberg, I hope you can at least say, "I've heard that before." If you can't, one of us is ancient history, out of touch, way out in left field, missed the boat or march to a different drummer. So, without further ado, cut to the chase, get the show on the road, stop messing around, and take a gander at what’s in store for you.
Enjoy and Contribute, Martin MacIntyre
