I’d like to know how many other posters have been on the board for a long time, but yet have a fairly low post count. As most of you can see I’ve een here long enough to rack up a fairly high count, if I were so inclined. Unfortunatly I don’t open my mouth too often. There are a lot of threads where I could say “me too” or pipe in with some other useless drivel, but I choose not too.Come on low posters let’s all pipe in with a big "We are here, We are here!’ (With big compliments to Dr. Suess for that particular phrase) ---

Yup, here’s gonna be my first “me too” post. Excuse the grammar. I registered in October but I’ve been a lurker for many, many months. This is, I believe, my 7th post. ---

Well Qwisp I must say that even though you do have a low post count for your time here I recognize you as immediatly or more then I do some with 1500 or more posts. You must post well!!! Good job! ---

Well, maybe there is a damn good reason you keep your trap shut… you wanker! I mean, if “me too” is all you can think of to say than perhaps you SHOULD keep your lip zipped! Just kidding. 🙂 Hey, I’m just padding my post count! ---

“Quality over Quantity.” That’s what I always say. Actually it isn’t. It’s what my 7th-grade science teacher used to say despite the fact that he gave us a bunch of useless homework. Whatever. ---

Okay, so I have over a thousand posts. But please note that I am the 137th person to sign up to the MB, and have been a member since the first week. There are people who have been here for a couple months that have twice as many posts as me. ---

There are a lot of threads where I could say “me too” or pipe in with some other useless drivel, but I choose not too… Me, too! I have no idea what my post count is, but I’ll soon find out. Like you, I mostly read and watch other discussions going on and rarely post myself. Previously to SDMB I was a very active poster in an enviroment such as Great Debates for over two years. When my grandbaby was diagnosed with pineoblastoma last December 6th… well, it’s a consuming life change and it turns everything upside down. (For those who know, Dawson is hanging in there.) So, no, I usually don’t post because some things seem so trivial and I can’t commit the time and energy needed for a Great Debate. ---

Edyln, are you the person Libertarian mentions? I may have missed this, but where is he? Tell him Spider Woman misses him at the GD forums. I’m sorry to hear about your grandbaby. /blatant hijack ---

I have to agree with Whammo - I recognised the name straight away and was very surprised to see the post count. Your words must weigh more… ---

Libertarian has been consumed by his new position and hasn’t even been able to look at the boards. He will return as soon as he can! Thanks for your thoughts. Here is [Dawson](http://www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/Senate/1472/OurPrayer.html) I’m done. Thanks y’all. ---

You know, having a low post count can be easily fixed by posting the same thing multiple times! ---
