I visit the Straight Dope _every day_ and I only have 166 posts since June of 1999 (hey, I just had an anniversary!). That works out to 0.11 posts per day, which I’ll bet is one of the lowest on the board. Of course, I have no way to back that up, but this is my post, so _there_. \*\* No you’re not, spammer, I am. I too visit the Straight Dope every day and this is my 10th post since April 2002. Maybe I should have a post party or something. ---

I am the Grim Reaper of threads. I don’t usually kill the thread outright, but once I show up, it usually doesn’t have long to live. I haven’t checked up on the actual numbers, but my posting career seems to go like this. 1. Read an interesting thread 2. Post a reply 3. Go back a few times and read the next couple of replies 4. Watch it die ---

Well, I WAS going to nominate myself as Thread Killa Extraordinare but someone beat me to it. However, if no one posts after me in this thread I will take over that title as it will then be rightfully mine. I guess I’ll just settle for being a notorious “Me too!” poster. You know who I am–I stumble into a thread late, read the OP and think of a dozen snappy replies to make, then read the entire thread and realize that everyone else has beaten me to it. Then I am seized by the uncontrollable urge to post something, anything, damn it, and the best I can sometimes come up with is a variation on “Me too!” _sigh_ Oh, and I am also a chronic \* abuser. ---
