Kgroneman,

well the text was completely at odds with what I’d inferred from the
title :wink: I thought we were in TMI territory :wink: Well done for not being
different.

Wow! Congrats…I guess…for being so common.

I seem to recall someone else from in here cracking the top 10 or 5 one
time, but I don’t remember a first place.

At least in July. :slight_smile: I remember someone here being in the top 10

Congratulations!

While this is a /fun/ activity, it highlights ones ability to see
things from another person’s point of view. This is a quality we should
all admire!

So my response to kgroneman’s comment is…

I used to partake in that competition. Something happened a few years
ago where I could not login & be part of the NCCI group, so I just
quit…

couple of people made the top 5. : )

So who’s the winner - the one who is most common or least? Just
wondering if I need to change all my answers to less common ones!
