> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by lel \* > \*\*PS: I have no idea how anyone amasses 5000 posts, let alone 10000 or 15000. \*\* I don’t really know, either… **Spoz** once told me that we Dopers write way too damn much, and those with the astronomically high post counts (for his purposes, 1000+) must have WAY too much spare time on their hands. (I can think of at least one person here who might qualify for that description… no, not myself!) This is post #3200 for me, by the way. 🙂 F\_X ---

Thanks, **lel**. Should have put it more correctly in my previous post: I had to read the thread twice before I realized who you meant. : addressing **Icerigger** and **LilyoftheValley** : See, this is how you rack up amazing gobs of posts in no time at all. Literary skill? What literary skill? : and on preview seeing **Flammie** having snuck in with another post 😉 : quickly slinking out of this thread before **lel** starts throwing servers and hamsters around : ---

Heh… **this** is how you have a great whopping post count. 😃 She’d better not throw servers around… I hear those things can get pretty bulky. Not the type of thing you’d routinely throw around. As for the hamsters? Why would you want to throw those cute little animals around? Give them a break! 😉 F\_X ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Icerigger \* > \*\*Well, almost at 500 it’s been a long hard haul. I am truly astonished at the literary skill so many members possess, I feel very inadequate having been around for so long and having such a low post count. \*\* I know what you mean. I’ve been around from 2000 and only racked 650. I see people who have been on-board for 6 months and pass me by hundreds. ---

I’ve been lurking for weeks, wondering upon what solemn occasion I should expend my one thousandth post. You know what? Screw it. **NUMBER FUCKING 1000** The big kahuna. The master enchilada. The most cromulent of all posts! WHOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! YEEHAW!! ---

Post count congratulations to **Flami** (who would have over 10000 posts if she kept up her initial pace throughout her tenure here), **Seven** and **neuroman**. **Siegfried** , I suppose you are welcome to post your post count panties here, but you must take them with you when you leave the room.

Happy post counts to **Sublight** and **tomndebb**! _::tosses light bulbs and paper hats about::_ You’ve got some excellent points there, **tomndebb** – given my limited knowledge base and my desire to generally remain neutral, I doubt my post count will ever increase too much. Oh well, I can learn by reading. (I didn’t come here to erase ignorance, I came here to get my own ignorance erased!) ---

I think this is my 888th post. Isn’t that lucky if you’re Chinese or something? BTW, my mathematical side thinks there should be parties when one reaches a certain derivative of post count, or perhaps even second derivatives.
