5,008, but I have been here for 10 years so that works out to only 1.28 posts per day. It’s higher than I expected it to be, but I’m still a real slacker compared to some. ---

This post makes (checks profile) 1,435 since I joined on (checks profile again) 4-20-2000 (heheheh, 4:20). So the neck-breaking pace of .34 posts/day. I’d say I prefer quality over quantity, but seriously, have you read my posts? I have no excuse. ---

77 posts. I’m afraid my message-posting salad days were in the late 80s and into the 90s. Not here of course, but on FIDOnet, GEnie, AOL and USENET. ---

When you click my name and hit “find all posts” it brings up 750 (well, now 751). I could have sworn I had more. ---
