> [@Otto](#): > > Making the search at all is an indicator of idle hands being the devil’s playthings. That’s why masturbation is next to Godliness. So long as you masturbate with both hands. Furiously. And there isn’t anything much more masturbatory than believing you are helping someone through a public intervention starring a bunch of internet ne’er do-wells. Haunting internet message boards for 18 hours a day is sad. Getting pumped up with self-congratulatory riotousness and pitting that person is just as lame. Also in the lame category is jumping to the aid of an internet addict less because you recognize the unfairness, but more so because you need to rationalize your own high post count and unhealthy internet habits. This post: also lame. ---

You guys should check your Amazon Gold Boxes. I just passed on deals for a slovenly trully, a brazen trumpet, a cheap trollop, a typical streetwalker, a saucy tart, a wanton wench, an expensive doxy, a haughty coutesan, an aged madam, a wealthy procuress, a sly pimp, and even a rich panderer. Some great deals out there, but I’m waiting for the chrome-plated wonton wench. It’d be great when I have that hankering for Asian. ---

It’d be great when I have that hankering for Asian. What kind of sauce was on the tart? I like tarts with hard sauce. Don’t bother with the cheap trollops. They’re small, smell fishy, and not as much fun as the better quality trollops. Now with haughty courtesans, you’re maybe on to something. Do you like courtesan cheese? Was the madame properly dry aged? ---

Ditto that. **Guin** and I have our areas of disagreement, but she posts well and has interesting things to say. She may be prolific but there’s real content to it, and I generally enjoy reading her contribs. And I am in no position to point to anyone and say “too much time on the internet” 😃 ---

I agree with **Otto**! 😛 > > The mere fact that she has 25K posts on this site may raise some eyebrows, but I (at 15K) know how easy it is to rack up posts in some threads that turn into virtually real time discussions. Start a chat, you say? Fuck off. If a quasi conversation started on a message board thread, then there it stays. IMHO, YMMV, BS,FO (but seriously, fuck off). Look at some of the latest Pit threads, with 5 or so people having 30 or 40 posts. Or a semi serious discussion of certain types of entertainment in Cafe. Sometimes a MB subject opens up a free-for-all of postings. It just happens. > > The OP didn’t happen to mention any other high post count Dopers, did he? No **Liberal** , **tracer** , **Scylla** , me, or any others? Huh. Must just have a hard on for **Guin**. > > Quite frankly, I just don’t see the obsession manny peoples have with post counts. It doesn’t make one better, doesn’t make one less of a person (either way). All it is is a count of the number of posts one has made. I stil say we should get rid of the damn thing if keeps causing problems (post count padding, handy type misleadings, this OP, etc…) I really like your idea of hiding the post counts. I do end up feeling embarrassed by mine and the Mods and Admins hate the mention of them anyway. Can’t pad your post count if there is no post count. **Klaatu** : Somehow searching for Guin on other boards and posting about rings as a little demented and stalkerish, don’t you think so? Jim ---

Now what just a danged minute. I thought every one knew that the [post count is actually a measure of quality](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=362381&highlight=post+count+algorithm) and not a true indicator of the number of times a user has hit the submit button. Turns out that all five of **Guinastasia’s** posts have just been very, very good! ---

It’d be great when I have that hankering for Asian. Can you braize a strumpet in a home kitchen, or does it require restaurant-quality equipment? Do doxies come in sets? I’ve heard that you can do interesting things with a pair of them. ---

I have to say I have also wondered about Guin. Don’t your parents/friends worry about you, or say something to you about the time you spend online? What do you do in your non-internet time (if you have any?) Do you work, socialize with friends, have hobbies? It’s probably nobody’s business, but the thread is already here and I have to admit I have been curious about this.
