I think I definitely (a) don't know enough Kindleboards trivia and (b) need to brush up on my search skills.  But I entered anyway. Cheesy

Yeah! Clearly this quiz was designed to exclude us, GG, no doubt with the aim of inducing some kinda complex, the manifestation of which, they'd use for the mere amusement value!  <----- See! It's working already!!

True, there can be a cruel side to these boards.  Then again it's not paranoia if they are out to get you.  Smiley  Looking around for tinfoil hat.......
