Boiler has just taken over the #1 position in all-time VJ reputation points.

This was consequent to a charge upward from 2,000 points behind, from only about a year ago.

Boiler is one of several CEHST regulars who routinely helps out in the upper forums.

His advice, as a sensible long-time member, has been valuable and much appreciated there.

Congratulations to Boiler, si man!

A trifle gender presumptive, but I forgive you.   Now Mr T I have heard of, Mr B not so much,. I am sort of surprised you can rack up so many upvotes telling bad jokes.

Before my head expands to the point of imminent explosion, I thought TBoneTX was, is and no doubt will always be Numero Uno ? Now  the only matrix I ever looked at was those little hearts thingys and how each one is exponentially harder to get.

 

On the plus side I would now have something to put on my gravestone.

Stay Woke would also be a good epitaph.

As the new leader, it falls to you to bring a new low in humour.

I am not ready for this, I do not see how I can possibly fill such very large shoes.

At this micro-instant, I have surged back into a tie for first place in all-time VJ upvotes.

However, this is certainly artificial; Boiler is simply toying with me, and he will widen the gap again shortly for good.

Just wanted to give self a weak, temporary shout-out. :P
