Kgroneman,

well the text was completely at odds with what I’d inferred from the

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.

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…
