I just searched the forums to find my earliest post for a different MPSIMS thread. While doing it, I kept track of how many threads I posted to in each forum.
My 1992 posts prior to this one appeared in 1137 different threads. Of those, I excluded the 3 ATMB threads, and the 39 in the relatively new (albeit marvelously moderated) Café Society. (Feel free to differ with my methodology. I couldn’t figure a way to calculate specific posts.)
Of the remaining 1095 threads, my posts are divided as follows:
I just wanted to say that I applaud your dedication and total lack of anything better to do. I can’t even begin to imagine going back and reading all my previous posts. Hurrah, I say.
As to the OP,if I had to guess, I’d say I’m probably:
Well, you got me on the “lack of anything better to do” part. I AM at work, you know.
But please don’t think I re-read all my old posts. Just did a search in each forum which gave me the total number of threads I posted to in that forum. Added them up and figured out the percentages.
I mean, I may be boring, but I’m not THAT boring!
The 1st 2 responses got me thinking, tho. Posting this in MPSIMS means we’ll never hear from those gloriously superior beasts who reside solely in GD/GQ-land.

Moderator’s Notes: Can we, if you insist upon doing it, try this in the “off-hours,” between 11:00PM and 5:00AM Chicago time? These huge searches really chew up processor resources on the server preventing many of your fellow community members from using the board normally.
Thanks, guys. I’m not trying to put the kibosh on this, I merely want everyone to be able to read and post. A more balanced use of resources will allow that. As all regular users know, we’re rather limited in that area right now. Anyway, I appreciate your cooperation with this and your concern for the rest of the community.
So far I have posted to 277 threads. Of those threads:
28% were in MPSIMS 25% were in The Pit 18% were in GD 17% were in Cafe 7% were in GQ 4% were in IMHO 1% were in ABTM
Looks like I’m drawn mainly to pointless or ruthless discussions. I do however manage a healthy amount of time spent debating in GD, and a nice chunk sipping tea in the Cafe.
