Who IS the Biggest LiVE Fan???

With too much time on my hands, and more sarcasm than I know what to do with, I have created this little LiVE Fan Test. Nausiated and, yet somehow, mildly amused by posts on various LiVE-related mailing lists claiming: "I AM the biggest LiVE Fan", this warped little Fan Test was developed by my sick little mind. Please, feel free to join the boat of sarcasm. Send me your amusing and demented additions to the following list and recieve full credit for your addendums.
