26 posts will be added here shortly.

I am open to a title change of course.

As suggested by @LSLGuy

> From the hamburger menu you can pick Users (left column, 3rd item). Then adjust the drop-down at upper left from [Week] to [All time]. Then click the “Replies Posted” heading to sort the entire user roster by that number. You’ll be listed first and highlighted, then everyone else below you in descending order.

I’ve added a link to the all setting.

Not quite 66K posts in not quite 23 years. That’s with 2 multi-year breaks TkYVM.

What a ginourmous pile of drivel I’ve left behind.

Heh. 25+ years registered and only 1.7k on the posting front. Granted, I’ve only started posting with any regularity over the last couple of years. And even then I know I’ll never reach the proficiency of many of our busier posters.

Long time lurker of course. Most days I still prefer reading to posting. Personal thing I guess. Anyhoo, carry on.
