I noticed that Elendil’s Heir has posted 688 times in the Trivial Dominoes thread. Is that the record for the most posts by one poster in a single thread? ---

Incidentally, the way I found that: I went to CS, MPSIMS, and the Game Room, set it to “show threads from the beginning” and “sort by number of replies” to see the biggest threads, then clicked on the number of replies link in the top few to see who posted how much. ---

Don’t believe him. He really waited until you posted the information and then, as master of time, Chronos was able to travel to the past and get his post in before you. You’ve got to watch out for those time manipulators. ---
