Either I’ve not been paying attention (as is my wont), or some admin recently added a post count to every person’s posts here. So naturally I’m wondering who has the most? **Diogenes** has 25,000+, so does anyone beat that? ---

Next question: Who has the lowest post density? Occasionally, I’m stunned to see a Charter member since 2002 with fewer than 50 posts. F’r’example: [Here’s](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/member.php?userid=43548) a Charter Member since '04 with fewer than 100 posts. Post density = .07. Beat that? ETA: Qualifications = maintains “Charter Member” status, and has posted in the last 6 months. ---

[/QUOTE] I don’t know where these Power Posters post from, but I can say with confidence that people are legally allowed to post from wherever they want. Their employers may have something to say about it (and probably would if they knew it was going on), but the law couldn’t care less. ---

[/QUOTE] The really high counts are a mixed bag. Many of us post at home and at work. \*\*Guin \*\* built up her total while not working and has gone from #1 to #3 as she is now working. I am not 100% sure of **Lib** , but I don’t think he works. Many of us can post at work as long as we are getting our work done and exceeding our goals. [QUOTE=Mangetout] I believe the appropriate response is: MWUHAHAHAHA! [/QUOTE] The impressive thing is you are doing it without annoying anyone or getting into pissing matches or being called out as an attention whore. I don’t recall you ever being pitted or starting a train wreck. Where do you do most of your posting? It must not be in GD or the Pit.
