Hehe, nice one, I was looking for that thread to link it, last week when some guys starting asking again about the little crabs forum, but I did not find it. Thanks.

Despite is having been mercifully deleted, I recall my quip was along the lines of "Fullspeed? 'Full retard' is more like it."

Pointed? Assuredly. Invitation to a Bob-style nuclear flamewar thread holocaust? That seems debatable, especially as I did not hurl multiple followup insults.

This one always makes me laugh, though going back, I think wblipp still has it beat.

As it's approaching mid 2012, I think it's time Mike
either declares a winner or broadens the title to embrace any vintage.

I think a <=2011 award and then a 2012 award at the beginning of next year. Have a nominations thread open throughout the year to defeat our collective amnesia, and use those to create a poll after New Years.
