Here’s a list of members who have more posts than their member number. I estimate there’s about two to three hundred such members; this list has 118 of them. Anyone else on it? Anyone on it whose member number is higher than Elendil’s Heir? How do you find your member number? Go to your User CP, click on Your Profile. That page will have a url of [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/member.php?u=XXXX](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/member.php). The XXXX is your member number. Your Profile page will also have how many posts you’ve made. ```auto member # post count username ================================== 6 1,788 Ed Zotti 14 19,642 Monty 22 7,971 Eutychus 32 10,420 TubaDiva 33 7,012 GusNSpot 39 2,781 Doug Bowe 41 15,614 gotpasswords 45 14,270 AskNott 46 13,764 PunditLisa 47 837 KCB615 66 17,471 AHunter3 82 38,960 tomndebb 114 2,229 whitetho 157 5,995 Enright3 199 13,419 Jophiel 215 6,931 Doctor Jackson 300 20,116 Revtim 366 11,819 cmkeller 387 28,626 Skywatcher 535 19,884 kunilou 630 38,172 RealityChuck 774 44,569 Czarcasm 877 9,133 furt 879 4,225 Motorgirl 937 31,824 Left Hand of Dorkness 1265 2,130 OttoDaFe 1492 21,122 NorthernPiper 1544 27,055 Sunspace 1686 12,913 Wendell Wagner 1717 11,950 Ukulele Ike 1779 9,475 dougie_monty 1804 2,372 Doug K. 1972 13,197 Earl Snake-Hips Tucker 2027 14,399 glee 2255 5,487 amanset 2306 12,379 JRDelirious 2322 4,000 psycat90 2324 11,871 scr4 2501 9,392 Finagle 2541 21,540 GuanoLad 2661 5,239 Eureka 2680 9,861 Max Torque 2709 24,923 kaylasdad99 2917 18,356 Musicat 2934 11,625 Cartooniverse 2941 12,431 Ike Witt 3237 13,166 FriarTed 3284 39,401 Liberal 3516 66,540 Little Nemo 3665 49,148 Bricker 3693 16,848 Kimstu 3734 29,602 Bosda Di'Chi of Tricor 3925 53,353 Johnny L.A. 3927 10,946 elbows 3932 4,129 dtilque 4176 61,991 Chronos 4211 12,063 Fenris 4278 7,244 HailAnts 4762 49,996 elucidator 4799 15,338 Una Persson 4928 7,766 casdave 5496 9,627 bibliophage 5569 9,881 Omar Little 5718 21,571 gigi 5777 23,769 Qadgop the Mercotan 5807 17,729 Telemark 5881 48,264 carnivorousplant 5911 17,810 Derleth 5945 24,474 Mahaloth 6009 8,074 teela brown 6200 35,212 pulykamell 6214 22,102 friedo 6269 20,880 Thudlow Boink 6323 32,880 Fear Itself 6344 39,088 CalMeacham 6373 24,431 Shagnasty 6642 12,229 Clothahump 6671 8,427 kenobi 65 7108 34,280 RickJay 7442 9,434 drachillix 7481 7,519 Bear_Nenno 7758 20,841 Alessan 7923 9,512 CarnalK 7980 18,528 Lemur866 8220 38,984 EvisL1ves 8244 24,594 Ludovic 8334 24,500 KneadToKnow 8915 10,341 MaxTheVool 8939 22,322 Freudian Slit 9579 10,473 Enderw24 9680 11,297 Spoons 9827 24,305 Captain Amazing 9885 25,159 panache45 10115 30,997 Colibri 10351 12,051 Measure for Measure 10463 48,656 Cat Whisperer 10829 16,617 Gyrate 10914 51,061 Bryan Ekers 11001 25,085 Ethilrist 11047 21,201 running coach 11672 12,983 Quasimodem 11858 12,617 Princhester 12973 24,212 Zsofia 13192 22,324 Broomstick 13242 28,166 DrDeth 13366 18,559 MrDibble 13817 18,266 WordMan 14048 14,203 hajario 14104 20,759 elfkin477 14424 53,921 Mangetout 16467 21,620 ZipperJJ 19015 35,219 Boyo Jim 19853 26,468 Exapno Mapcase 20755 25,734 dropzone 24999 34,812 Sampiro 27822 68,921 John Mace 32062 77,111 BrainGlutton 46809 59,423 Elendil's Heir ``` Here’s a list of people who are fairly close to being on it. ```auto member # post count username ================================== 5660 4,511 USCDiver 6811 5,547 SpoilerVigin 8481 8,136 jsc1953 11630 8,043 Knorf 12660 12,605 ftg 13513 13,399 cmyk 13769 13,205 engineer_comp_geek 14776 17,063 don't_ask 16255 12,322 Grrr! 16562 13,789 Duckster 17605 16,438 Dseid 19816 19,595 ivylass 30898 26,739 jsgoddess 36596 33,988 Chefguy ``` ---

I was sure I would be on the first list, mainly because I though I had around 10,000 posts. If you count all of the posts I wrote and then discarded without submitting, I would definitely be up there. I’ve estimated before that I trash about 50% of my posts. At least I’m on the close list. ---
