It’s that time of year again. (The time of year where I feel like starting a new thread)

Look at your profile from a past message posting. Find out how many posts you have so far, and when you actually registered. Calculate how often you post.

For example:

This should be interesting. It’ll take me a minute to dig out my old algebra book to do the math … here goes:

202 days.  
By the end of today over 2000 posts.  
So 9.9 per day.  
There was a period of a week where I was averaging exactly 50 posts a day. Now that was impressive. (and very very scary)

About 120 days, give or take a couple, and 110 posts. I’m really too lazy to take the math down to the last decimal, but it comes out to less than one a day. Guess I just ain’t all that talkative.

But I read a lot.

Well, I already know the answer to the question “Who posts the most?” is “Not me, that’s for damn sure.” But I _do_ like meaningless statistics…

**Registered:** 11-4-1999  
**Days:** 323  
**Total Posts:** 525  
**Average:** 1.62 posts/day

Of course, I’m another “only at work” poster, so working out the average without weekends would make me…  
even more of a geeky loser than merely replying to this topic would indicate.

Not too bad, considering I didn’t post much of anything for about 2 months. But now that work has firewalled Pyroto, I’m here for good, so it seems.

My average would be much higher but for the fact that I posted very little over the summer because I was on dial-up access at my mom’s house–I am much more active here at school, since I am online 24/7. If I were really into avoiding my schoolwork, I’d do a breakdown of school vs. home, but I really have too much to do…hahaha.
