Dude! You’ve been here one year. Check it out:

[http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/member.php?action=getinfo&userid=930](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/member.php?action=getinfo&userid=930)

You’ve posted 3382 times. That’s almost 9.25 posts per day!! Prodiginous!

Meanwhile, I registered one and a half months earlier, and have only 366 posts. I’m not sure what this means, but

**Wow!**

Keep up the good work, and keep up the not smoking!

Ahh, Doug? I think you should check those dates again. It appears the good Satan registered on 5/4/99. I think you are reading the _last post_ entry.
