There are one or two threads regarding penis length – isn’t one by the OP? – and I think they should be merged with this one and the title changed to “Who Has the Longest Active Member”? ---

> [@Cheshire\_Human](#): > > _ **Every** _ number (except 1) is either prime, or a product of 2 primes. You’ll have to find something else to be unique about. ☹ Err, not quite. Every number is prime or the product of 2 _or more_ primes (this is the [Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamental_theorem_of_arithmetic)). For example, 30 = 2 x 3 x 5. 30 cannot be expressed as the product of exactly 2 primes. ---

I am wondering if I have one of the lowest posts: length of membership ratios. Does that information exist anywhere accessible or would I have to look at everyones “post per day” info. Partly it was because I went among the missing during pay to post times, although I did continue mainly to read the dope during those years. There was a while in 2003-4 that I did not have a computer, but I still read the dope at libraries, my mom’s house and so forth. I have a a new mission to get my posts/day average above 1. If I made a point of posting 11 times/day for the next year, I could do this. Or would the mods think this is shameless post-count padding. And I probably won’t even achieve this. I’m a reader not a poster. ---

True, but I am very active as a reader, its not like I joined up and forgot about this place.
