**E** xcuse me Tripler, didn’t mean to ignore your post. I was just struck by a lovely face while multi-tasking.

**F** or sure this is the record for posts with more then twice as many as the 2nd place LotR written by someone else thread. Although that one sill holds the board record for most views.

\*\*G[/]iven that (one) two Mods have visited and not closed, or threatened to close and (two) that the thread appears to have had no ill effects on the upgraded board it seems that there is no real reason to close this thread.

**H** owever there are many more interesting things to be learned from this thread. for instance there there were 192 unique posters here at last count, this helps give us some ballpark numbers as to how many active posters we have. Actually toss out 25% and the rest seem to be lurkers and/or transient posters. Too bad the reputable posters seem to be ignoring it.

**I** f we tried to get all active posters to post here we’d have … well we’d only have a rough esitmate of how many active posters there are over the course of 2 months … But still interesting.
