I’m an amateur message poster when it comes to some of you guys. But I am a math geek, and I was wondering what the highest average number of posts were per day. I registered on 3/14/99, and as of this post, I’ve posted 328 times in those 331 days. That comes to just less than one post per day average. (.990 posts a day) At random, Sealemon88 1,258 posts in 158 days (9/3/99 - 2/8/99) That’s 7.9 posts a day, average. Coldfire 1,353 posts in 195 days (7/28/99) That’s 6.9 posts a day. Ukulele Ike 1,528 posts in 216 days (7/7/99) That’s just over 7 posts a day (7.07) Satan has 2,627 posts in 280 days (Proud member since 5/4/99) That comes in at 9.4 posts per day, average. How about it guys, is Satan the undisputed champ? ---

I think for posting frequency, you should take a look at [Libertarian](http://www.straightdope.com/cgi-bin/ubbcgi/ubbmisc.cgi?action=getbio&UserName=Libertarian). I think he’s at about 16.5/day. ---

Refresh, Refresh, Refresh! Coldfire… Mathboy? 🙂 I don’t think I need to check yours again until you get near Satan’s total. (Or Phouka’s?) Uke Ike’s was changing as faster than I could calculate. ~grumbling~ better watch out, givin somebody a nickname like that, and next thing you it starts to stick. ~grumble Enright3 ---

Lib, I know everything everyone has posted in chronological sequence on this board. What? You aren’t buyin’ that malarkey? I dunno, your name just popped up in my head, I think it’s becuase I’ve been reading all the Libertarian politics/party threads over in GD recently. One quick look and my idea was confirmed. ---

Geez, what a bunch of lazy asses you guys are! Crazy me for thinking you’d **CALCULATE YOUR OWN**!! By the way, Handy, 3,013 posts in 333 days (ewww that’s wierd) is only 9.0 per day. The short times have an advantage here. Enright3 ---
