Barrow-Down Dreams

[Brinniel]

I recall having a dream a few days back about reputations:

I had posted something really weird and pointless (I think it was a list or something), and for some odd reason received several reputations for it. And even after all those reps, I still wasn't on top of the rep list because some fictional member named bil-bal was. He was a new member with only two posts, and I couldn't figure out why he was so popular. So, I went to read his posts only to discover that they were extremely long (like 3-4 pages on Word long). I attempted to read the posts, but it was all nonsense to me (I'm not even sure it was completely Tolkien related). Apparently, everyone who read his posts repped him because they were so awed by the length, and even though what he wrote was nonsense, it was very intelligent nonsense...

So, if someone named bil-bal ever registers onto the BD, we all better watch out.
