Hmm, 477 / 1 = 477. I’m OP-shy and a long-time lurker. What would happen if it were 0, though? ---

Actually, that was 4325 / 22 = 196.5909. I included that post but forgot to change it. So okay, with this post it’s: 4326 / 22 = 196.63636 Nitpicky, I know, but I might be getting graded on this or something. ---

6572 posts, 66 threads = 99. 58 I believed until now that I had a very low ratio by comparison with most other posters. But apparently, though it’s low, it’s not remarkably so… ---

222 / 2 = 111. That was easy. Although, with this post it’ll go up to 111.5. Ay. The spirit of the lurker still lurks within me. ~ Isaac ---

2.607/86 = 30.314 When I first arrived at the board, I was extremely OP shy. It took me about two years to conquer that. Since then, I’ve created new threads in General Questions on a fairly regular basis. Thus, the world has acquired classics such as [Did the Vikings actually quaff from animal horns?](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=251720) ---
