Gosh, I can’t count the number of times someone wanted to buy my post count…
At least Im not one of those mama boy high posters, why I even have rules given to me from mods that don’t apply to anyone else 🙂

I think of the high-post-count people as teachers and the low post count people as students.
the students come and go, but the teachers are always there.
The people with about 2000-3000 posts are sort of the old students, been in the ‘school’ a couple of years, and the teachers know them quite well, but not as well as the other teachers.
**handy** - what rules are you subject to that no-one else is? I am intrigued.

What’s with everyone busting on handy? 15,000 posts in 4 years is a lot but if he really didn’t have anything to say that number could be **much** higher. [These](http://board.rapmusic.com/) boards don’t have a search feature but if you poke around there enough you’ll find people with 50,000-60,000 posts in under a year, and I’m sure they aren’t the most prolific posters on the 'net.

If I post every 30 seconds I reach 15000 in about 450 000 seconds or a bit more than 5 days. Should be easy.

Or maybe I should pad my post count like this and set a realistic goal. Like having more posts than **Cecil Adams** (120).

I think, given a few more months, that **Q.E.D.** might catch up to, and eventually overtake our friend **handy**. I mean, over 2,000 posts in three months?
Damn!

Yep… looks like I’m the only truly pathetic one here.
But hey, I’ll catch up. Really I will! 😃

We were all pathetic, once.

Yeh, I was on the board for a couple months before I began to seriously post - should have started sooner. Oh well.

“I think, given a few more months, that Q.E.D. might catch up to, and eventually overtake our friend handy. I mean, over 2,000 posts in three months?”
That would be great. Then we can start picking on Q.E.D instead 🙂
Lobsang, certain topics are off limits for me to post to…
