It’s probably higher, since I lurked for a few months after registering. I don’t think I posted until June.

Definitely a slow start, although I’ve been doing about 7/day for the last week. Is it considered bad form to start a thread announcing your 100th post? Thanks.

If **Catrandom** is correct and 2.5 is an “average sort of average” (is that a mean thing to say?) then I am slightly above average. I think I’ll move to Lake Woebegone.

If I kept my username at first I would have over 2,000 posts by now, but I changed it too many times and am trying to catch up!  
If I had a computer at home, I would be posting more often. As it is now, at the library I can do about 20-30 a day.

I first registered in March of 99, so about 2,000 posts in 18 months would make it about 30 a day.

Uh… I think 2000 posts in 18 months is between 3 and 4 posts a day. You’d have to have over 16,000 posts for your average to 30 a day for 18 months.

I’m actually amazed it’s that many. There are days I don’t come here at all. (stop laughing, I’m serious.) I also lurk a lot, even when I am here. (shhh! can’t you see I’m trying to post?) I guess I’m a binge Doper.
