I just noticed that Guinistasia has posted 17,000 times. That may not be near the record, but considering the integrity, openness and insight of her posts, that is really remarkable. We could do with more Guins in this world. ---

She’s also a regular poster at [TheForce.net](http://TheForce.net). I’m scared to think of what her combined post total could be. ---

If memory serves, I first ran into Guin at [customerssuck.com](http://customerssuck.com) and she mentioned this place, which led me over here. That was many years ago, back in the day when I wrote my most famous and sarcastic customer service story about the end of the world and an old lady who just wanted her adult diapers, the best part being when Scotland came out naked in blue paint, yelling FREEDOM then proceeded to nuke themselves with a giant rock. Ah, the good old days. Congrats Guin, ye old bag 😃 Sanscour ---

So, is the race on? At the moment **handy** has 17184 posts and a rate of 10.18/day, while **Guinastasia** has 17008 posts at 14.24/day. If both of them remain at this rate, **Guin** should surpass **handy** ’s post count in 43.3 days. Yes, yes, it is often mentioned that quality, not quantity, is what matters on this board, but I just can’t help being a geek and doing a few calculations. ---
