That reminds me of “The Lottery.”

Somebody recently referred to me as “a poster of your prominence.” Now, I took that to mean that i was especially respected … let’s just say it … **revered** by the SDMB crew, but it could be that he was saying I posted a lot. But I’m nowhere close to frequent enough to match the posters in this thread.

Which can only mean he meant I was **revered.**

Nice.

It doesn’t matter how many times you have posted. Post count means nothing. What matters is the content. I know I have a high post count, but I also know that probably 50% of that is flirting and fun sort of things. I’m only visible because I post a lot, not because I’m wise like Polycarp or acerbic like manhattan.

Well over a third of my posts have been in GD where I only post the letter “r”

And no one knows why.

I got off to a slow start at first… kept trying to offer thoughtful content in worthwhile debates.

Then I discovered MPSIMS, and my post count soared!

Now, off to the next one-liner game thread…

😉 🙂 😃 😛

You seem to have quasi-mastered that art, m’dear;)  
My PC, for the record, will mean something to me when 25% of it doesn’t consist of me flaming people and/or running nekkid thru threads. And I don’t see myself refraining from either in the future. But it is not exactly a feat unto the gods to post 11K times here … especially given those who have done far more in a shorter amount of time (or proportionally so…even at my “best” I never averaged 1K/mo).

Don’t you mean “Predict the next poster”

(goes off to compare ETF’s post count with the number of posts in that thread)

I know, I couldn’t believe that I’d ever go over 1,000 posts, and now it’s looking like I may sometime hit 2,000.

Then again, they are all pretty much devoid of content lately, as my brain has just been fried for a while.

**P/punha** , 1k per month? :eek: I’ve once posted a bit over 200 in a month, and I felt like I was spending my life here!

I averaged 500/mo for a while … I was posting several hours a day and I was an insatiable flirt.

There are a few here for whom 500/mo would be a few hundred down from their averages.

**SanguineSpider** , you post more than I do, I wouldn’t say that’s barely here.

**Ruby** : or what. 😃

**P/punha** : are you still an insatiable flirt? Can you, umm, run naked through this thread?

**Lobsang** , you have succeeded.
