Thanks, **dpr** , but I just worked the numbers. The prizes are up to someone else. If I had a say though, if **denbo** gets a toaster then you should too. If he gets _a new car_, I’d certainly think you would get one too. And by golly, if he gets a Straight Dope Home Game, I think you should be standing right there with your hands out waiting for yours. After all, your post is the one with the nice postid=#500000 on it. Jim [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/ok-who-was-total-poster-500-000/25474.md?page=1)
