Unfortunately, there’s never a dearth of things not to be said in some people’s vocabularies.
Sometime this afternoon, at the rate he goes. 
“Unfortunately, there’s never a dearth of things not to be said in some people’s vocabularies.”
When you get another 20 years under your belt Montfort, you’ll be able to make a fair judgement of me. Frankly, I think you are far too young to judge some so much older than you.
Oh my stupid keyboard! That should read ‘someone’ not ‘some’
Just to let you know, handy, your input is requested here.
Well, sheesh, if you’re going to pad your count like that…
I’m gonna go with May 21, 2001.
Just a note - I know there is a Pit thread in progress. This thread has nothing to do with that. It’s simply a fun thing to see how soon the most prolific poster of all will reach 10,000 posts.
So, how old are you? 48?
Guys - there is a Pit thread to do this in. Not here, please.
My prediction?
I’ll guess that handy will crash the 10K barrier on June 2nd. It’s not my birthday, but it is my brother’s.
And when I do guess that I will reach the 10K mark?
May 33rd.
Handy’s post count on 9-16-2000, 9-22-2000, AND 4-27-2001 (today, duh) was 9398 all three times! So just WHAT IS his count now? I ain’t got this figured out yet.

I haven’t seen anyone take June 1st yet, so I’ll pick that.
dobbinaire, your post count doesn’t number each post separately in the order you make them, it’s a running total of your number of posts. Before you post next time, open another thread you’ve posted in and check your count. After posting, reload that other thread and you’ll see your count there has been incremented by 1.
I’m there, and have been there. He’s not there.
Too bad, he’d get to 10,000 even faster if he bothered with the Pit.
I understand, Montfort. I just don’t want this thread to be a substitute for the Pit thread. I have no ill will against handy at all with the making and updating of this thread. It is just an MPSIMS effort.
Okay, Protesilaus, so Handy’s post count will be different in other posts? I was just wondering why his count was the same on three different dates. Was it because the count stays the same on each thread?
:0:0:0 d’oh!!! Please forgive this post! I just now figured it out:0! Silly, seeeellly me.
'Course I could just not post this but what the hey (hay?). Hmmm, I’m learning, really I am (I think!)
Please be kind. Please be gentle. I am, after all, still under 30 posts.

p.s. okay, so Now he is at about 9398. About 600 to go. 600/20 = 30. Oh, I’ll guess May 25.
**new contest - when will dobbinaire reach 10,000 posts? **
heheh, just kiddin’dobs. Welcome - everybody likes people who are willing to learn, and do so in public!

OK, at the time of this post handy is at 9951. We should now start the Handy Watch[sup]TM[/sup], to see when he reaches 10,000.
The clock is ticking…
We’re going to have to start a whole new contest after the old threads are eliminated.
Haj
My guess is tomorrow evening, 7:02 pm.
thinksnow says: Monday June 25, noon EST.
He may reach the 10k goal soon, but the real question is when is he going to post anything worth reading 
Just kidding – I’ll take the day after the Cubs win the world series.
