Yup - handy is just about there. I, for one, just think that’s pretty amazing (arguments about how worthy those 15,000 posts may be aside).
Does he still have the highest post count?

I think Guinastasia is second, and she’s 13,273 as of a few minutes ago.
Um… can I just say I’ve a few more to go?
::pads shamefacedly out::
I feel so…inadequate.
You feel inadequate? <hides her tiny post count>
Next on the SDMB: A debate about who has the most worthless posts out of our top 3 contestants!

In a different light, I hope I don’t reach that number. It means I’ve neglected something else.
I’ll be turning in my 9K shoes for 10K on or around my 3rd SDMB birthday…
[sub]Nobody noticed the first two. Or any post of mine ending in -000. I feel left out of all of this.[/sub]
Well, that’s just because most people feel post counts are mostly irrelevant, iampunha - don’t take it personally.
I’m over 12,000 myself and I hardly keep track of it anymore. It’s obvious that this board is an addiction, although my posting rate has gone down a bit lately due to other activities, such as, you know, work and stuff.
“stuff”, of course, being Codies code word for his secret identity as a famous runway clog model.

This is the most incredible post count I’ve ever seen …
BUT WHO CARES?!?

Ugh. I’ll never catch them.
Me neither 
My only reply to this is: Have you ever actually read any of handy’s posts? Now that is inedequate.
Much like this one.
Damn…I was thinking that you were reporting your recruitment tally…that’s one hell of a lot of toasters… 
Well, I for one have a different approach: Slow and steady. See, Handy will flame out after a short while…there’s only so many things you can say. Perhaps around 23,000, he’ll fall over and realize he’s typed everything he’s ever likely to want to type. I however, am taking the slow and steady approach, and will catch up to those 23,000 posts in only 50 years or so! At my current posting rate, it’ll take me 38 years to amass 15,000 posts…but darnit, I’ll make it!!!
(slowly admits that he’ll likely never crack 10,000…or perhaps even 5,000…)
And I used to think that my 1,000th post was a big deal. I was even upset that I lost about 150 posts to the great crash, which delayed my 1,000 barrier breakage.
I feel rather sad.
My post count is truly pathetic. Look when I registered.
If Q.E.D. maintains his current rate, he’ll surpass handy within three years. He’s already surpassed in quality, IMO.
Yeah, I’m always amazed when I see Q.E.D.'s name near the top on a couple of the “last posted” in each forum. Really cool guy.
