      I see today that BrilloPad has posted 6450, so out of curiosity I clicked randomly on one of the "jump to" links, page 145, and bless my soul nearl two years ago, in February 2008, there was BrilloPad publishing 1455. And 1456. And 1457, 1458, 1460, 1461, 1463, and 1464 (interrupted by an imaginative "MCDLIX" from Zeitghost)

      Now I haven't read the whole thread, I haven't the time unfortunately, however, and here's the interesting part, Brill's closing 1460 on that page is out of synch with the post number by 4, whereas the current 6450 is spot on, so the thread must go IN and OUT of synch.

      Rivetting stuff.
      Ah so that's how he gets his high post count.
      Nice to know not all his posts are full of bile and vitriol.
      Hard Brexit now!

        Oh dear. Someone had to fail at this thing.

        The 13th post is unlucky for some.

            Suprised you care. I thought only atw was that sad. LR posts dont count towards total. Add non-lr, tpd, counting & jokes and I am close to 50k. Not that it matters an iota. AS long as I am less full of bile than you I am happy. Of your ~16k posts I reckon 1.6k have been great. The rest are just vitriol and a symptom of small willy syndrone.

                  Did you know 16,506 / 18 = 917?

                    The endless application of energy and utilisation of youth that goes into the Counting Thread makes me think of that song N-n-n-n-n-n-nineteen.
