Before this post 1.494. After this post 1.492. By my count, Mr. Cynical, you need to post to this thread 2.43 more times to maintain your lofty average. Also, I will give $5 to the first person that presents a posts-per-thread ratio of less than one. ---

With this post: 1.89 Of course, there was that incident in recent history of the Tymp Imposter. Certainly its work had an effect on this figure. ---

Ob - How about .894? 😛 Oh, you want me to tell the truth? 1.631 Kinda surprised it’s so high, must be the Dopefest threads. ---

390 posts/211 threads=\> loquaciousness index of 1.848 as of this post. A nice balance of flirting, anecdotes, and simple answers, I think. For reference, only one of those posts was to GD. ---

2468/755= 3.27 I’d probably be beating Mr. Cynical if it weren’t for having to post in threads I wouldn’t normally to do “moderator stuff”. Losing the archives probably hurt me too; I probably had over a hundred posts in the Atheist Religion thread alone. Eh well, I will cede Mr. C the crown. But he might have some competition from hardcore GDers and Pitizens. ---

I currently have 1289 posts, distributed among 837 known threads, mostly in GQ, for a ratio of 1.5400239:1 . May I say, by the way, that looking through the old search results, I’m surprised at how long ago some of those threads were? They seem like just yesterday. ```auto Now, who'se going to figure out how to get our standard deviation on posts per thread? ``` ---

My computer is still trying to calculate my ratio out to the final decimal place, but it seems to be taking forever…let’s just say it’s 3.14 (all right, it’s 2.11)… ---
