What is the prize?
**The prize: **
I am too biased a participant (my posts could affect whether anyone wins or not) to offer my usual prize of a home made rum-cured bbq hot dog pumpkin-mustard holiday layer cake (with spicy marshmallow crust). The winner will harbor his or her accomplishment alone, unrecognized, with silent pride, acknowledged only by the occasionally irrepressible twinkle of self-knowing satisfaction as the two of you bring the rum bath up to temperature for the the pre-bbq sous-vide. That’s right, the winner shall be allotted:
A recipe for one rum-cured bbq hot dog pumpkin-mustard holiday layer cake (with spicy marshmallow crust).

I actually have a very complicated system for situations just like this. As far as I can tell,
the answer will be…4.
I’ll be over there waiting to see if I’m right… ------------->

Since most posts are never closed they just drift into oblivion down the page the real question is when do we decide it’s done?
Giving it a deadline of posts within 2010 I’m going to state that the thread will have 91 posts.
Also, D/a that’s some impressive logic 
Moving from IMHO to the Game Room.
HEY I WANT ONE MORE POST UNDER MY POST COUNT TOO!!!
caps!
97
The problem with this is that there is no gloating.

I’ll go with 47.
I think the threadkiller will get his kicks with Post #66.
No, I don’t mean his/her kicks – I’m guessing the final contribution will be made by a male.
I predict 14 posts.
Aw, damnit!
I don’t know, no wait!
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
More than 17.
18
…d’oh!
I’m a good thread-killer – so 19.
You lose.
