Well, I think this totally SUCKS—I get no credit for the nearly 1000 posts I made as Flora McFlimsey from July through December!!
What, I’ve gotta add that to my sig line or something?
Now we have a whole NEW way to evaluate each other and make snap judgements!
Under 500…Newbie! Over 1500…Nerd who needs to get a life! Approximately 1400…Cool, well-informed, intelligent hepcat who plays a mean “Ornithology” on tenor sax!
Let’s see…I’m slightly behind Wally…slightly ahead of ChiefScott, NICELY ahead of Sealemon and orangecakes…and I’m whumpin’ the HELL out of that Eve person. Whatever happened to Flora McFlimsey, anyway?

David, Can’t I add on my former posts from vanillanice? Please?
. . . shamelessly monopolizing bandwidth. . .
Darn! I’d better get my act together if I want to get out of that “Newbie” category.
This place is as good as any to start.
Eat right, exercise daily, live clean, die anyway.
Inky dinky doo!
Just checking in!
Sucks to your assmar.
It sucks to be a social doper. I’ll have to do better. Not that I’m shamelessly padding or anything…
Does it count for anything that Chief Scott’s using my suggestion as his new sig? I mean, anything other than my general cleverness? (I’d smilie here, but I don’t need contempt.)
But Davey, I want my own sock-puppet theatre too.
But [pseudo]seriously, at least they don’t put where you’re from on the side like they do here! You have to do something insanely complicated to get that info here. (Click on the

You’ll just have to make that your sig:
“Add XXX posts to my total, at left, from when I was Vanillanice.”
God, how depressing, nothing like flaunting how utterly average my SDMB posting career has been. Now I’m going to have to start posting gratuitous comments on other threads to boost my numbers into the lofty lands of ‘SDMB veteran’. sigh I think I’ll go lurk…
All you need to start an asylum is an empty room and the right kind of people.

Actually, “newbie” status should be determined by date of registration, not number of posts.
…just checkin’ the ol’ post count
“…send lawyers, guns, and money…”
Warren ZevonBut DavidB, you can register one day, not post, then go for months without posting. Then when the fellow wades his foot into the board, he’ll have one post and be registered of over a year. . .
So, if we make snap judgements about posters, we should take into account both the registration date and the number of posts.
I propose that the benchmarks be set anywhere lower than my own stats. Thank you.
True, but if he took the time to register, he probably has been reading for a while. So even if he is a newbie to posting, he might not be considered an overall newbie. I guess we need two categories – Newbie Reader and Newbie Poster.
Still under 500, but nobody’s newbie!
Catrandom, who thinks this is awfully personal to have just hanging out there in the open like that… :o
Ya know, it occurs to me that I haven’t seen anybody with nearly as many posts as I have. I thought certainly Satan would beat me, but he’s like 1000 behind. I’m really hoping I don’t have the most posts, but can’t think of anybody who would be beating me. Any ideas? Please!
