unless I have something that I absolutely need to shout from the rooftops for all to hear in a massive thread with like a billion comments

haha yeah, I rarely do but even when I think I do i'm put of knowing it will be 300 scrolls down. I suggest just replying to the top thread, making your apologies for being a red fish, and then killing it with an awesome reply. Might work, but don't blame me if not :)
