No, no Allen you still haven't quite got the hang of it. The self replies need to come immediately after your previous post(s). OK, ocasionally someone else will chime in but it's critical you don't let that steer you from your course, ignore them and just plow on.
for example:
AEC Post #1: Can anyone think of a gaming use for preparation H?
AEC Post#2: I've been looking at the Q-tips in my medicine cabinet as a source of inspiration.
AEC Post # 3. Wikipaedia has a great article on fungal diseases [insert link]
AEC Post #4 Cavemen
(Random Poster Interjects): Well I've considered Preparation H as a varnish for my Space Orks and I think the cap could be used as a thruster jet nozzle for spaceships.
AEC Post #5. I've just noticed that the National Geographic has discovered a primitive tribe in the Amazon who use the poisonous secretions of a tree frog to cure piles. [insert at least three picture links]
Keep this up for as long as you like. Important to post at least one link and ideally three picture links per post. Even more important is to regard the initial query as merely the spine of the thread. You can free form and add as many related, subliminal or even unrelated subtopics as you like as you work up speed.
Now you try it.
