I think we should have a thread dedicated to each quiz. Number them; Quiz 1, Quiz 2, etc. That way, all replies in one thread will have the same questions, and only the answers will be different. You might say it'll clutter General Discussion, but this forum's been a bit slow of late anyway.
Anybody else believe that you find out much more about a person by how they reply, and not by what they actually say?

I was actually just thinking that this morning, I was getting confused with all the different quiz templates
 He - (Simón Bolívar) - was shaken by the overwhelming revelation that the headlong race between his misfortunes and his dreams was at that moment reaching the finishing line. The rest was darkness. "Damn it," He sighed. "How will I ever get out of this labyrinth!" So what’s the labyrinth? That’s the mystery isn’t it? Is the labyrinth living or dying? Which is he trying to escape - the world, or, the end of it?

I studied Italian for 2 semesters. Not once was a "C" pronounced as a "G", and never was a trailing "I" ignored! And I'm from Jersey!  lol Whaddaya want me to do? Whack a guy? Off a guy? Whack off a guy? --Peter Griffin My DVDs | Facebook | Godfather Filming Locations

You might say it'll clutter General Discussion, but this forum's been a bit slow of late anyway. That's a good idea. All these different surveys are getting a little difficult to follow in the current manner. Perhaps we should keep them titled "Getting to know you" and then simply add the next number of the survey (i.e. Getting to know you #14) to the new thread. I wish I could transfer individual posts to different threads but the software here won't allow that. gina was kind enough to update the first ten surveys in the first post in this thread (Thank you, gina) and since then three more have been added. The next survey would therefore be number 14. . Anybody else believe that you find out much more about a person by how they reply, and not by what they actually say? Yes, and no. I think a lot depends upon the individual's posting style. The simple "yes" and "no" responses obviously add some info but much more info can be garnered by reading the comments that some have included in their responses (including those making jokes OR those attempting NOT to answer the question). Regardless, I'm finding these surveys to be very revealing AND a lot of fun.

So, should we number each survey here, or start a new thread for each survey? It'd be easier to follow the question and following replies in separate threads, so I suggest a new thread for each different survey. If you have another one waiting in the wings, it should be posted as a new thread perhaps titled "Getting to Know You #14".

I don't even know how many of these "surveys" we have. Have there been more than 4? There have been 13 already in this thread.

See how far behind I am.  I think a separate thread for each may be good. I have no idea if that is using too much space or a waste in terms of Geoff's/SC's job goes. Anyway, to be able to comment more on each survey, be it joking around and teasing, (which I like to do) or just inquiring, really does give us the opportunity to know each other better, right? Of course, some may want to remain more anonymous but that's their option. Then again, are there that many surveys around? (evidently so, I missed so many already)  TIS
