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
