POG's Most Prolific Posters

[michaeldterry]

Okay - so I've got way too much time on my hands. I won't even argue that irrelevant point.

In a recent post in another thread, Jon Wehrenberg mentioned that it was his 8,000th post! Once I was able to retreive my jaw from the floor, I began wondering how that compared with other POG mere mortals. I went through the member list and compiled a list of all current POG members with post counts in excess of 1,000. This is what the list looks like as of 3:14PM eastern standard time on Wednesday, February, 3, 2011:

As you can see, Jon is in a class by himself with well over twice as many posts as the next most frequent poster (Tom Chilcote). Given Jon's POG join date of 1/10/2006, his current post count means that he averages contributing about 4 posts every single day! Tom joined 8 days after Jon (1/18/2006) and his post count gives him an average of only about 1.5 posts per day. Once again, Jon amazes me! :o If everyone contributed even half as much as Jon, Skiffer would be having to buy more bandwidth and disk arrays every few months! Wouldn't that be a wonderful problem to have! :eek:

Oh yeah - my post count and join date extrapolates to an average of one post every two days - most of which are forgettable and inconsequential (no value added). :rolleyes::o

[Jon Wehrenberg]

Michael is too modest. In his last paragraph he considers his posts inconsequential and forgettable.

Today I read his post about how to go to the last unread post. I never knew that. Michael like everyone else that posts has something to contribute, and to encourage new members or those reluctant to post, sometimes the best posts are the ones that are questions because it is often the questions that start interesting discussion and we all end up learning something.

John I believe the above post would be 8001 according to Michael!

Now there's an aspiration........... to become a genuine Pog Prolific Poster

Wendy - it'd be great if you posted more often! Give us some "tales from the road" from the Russell Coach drivers, anecdotes from some of your interesting shop projects, or just tell some tales on Rob! :p

Michael - I sure can share stories on Rob!! LOL (Or even stories from our drivers!) If I could ever figure out how to post photos on POG - I would post photos of coaches we have done remodel work on (before and after) - I am really kind of challenged on learning the in's and out's of how to use the blog! :-) I need Jon's help!!! LOL

Buy me a cup of coffee and I will stop in and show you how to post pictures.

We all want to see the dirt on Rob.

Wendy - I'd love to see those pictures and hear stories on Rob and your drivers! I found instructions for posting pictures to the forum in this thread: http://forum.prevostownersgroup.com/showthread.php?2195-Posting-a-picture-on-forum&highlight=posting+photos

Check it out and if you need assistance with resizing picture files to post, I'll be glad to help! Keep on posting and do jump in to help give a sponsor's perspective on some of the question/issues posed by POG members!
