Just for S&G, I went to the search paged and typed in Cecil’s name to see if he’s ever posted on the SDMB. It turns out he has a total of 124 posts, though I couldn’t figure out when his last one was. When did he stop posting, and will he ever come back?

He only comes out it seems when you beg or insult him. Kind of like the god of the old testement really.

One of my faves is [this](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&postid=2956933#post2956933) reply to my fawning.

If you want to see all his posts, check the “search entire posts” and “show as posts” boxes. This is very hard on the servers, though.

Even though Our Perfect Master™ only has 124 posts to the boards, he has us all beat in his columns (online and off) and books.

Perhaps a SDMB Party Post™ will bring him back for number 125?
