One is pure "who posted most to TPD".
The drivel% table was in response to those people who criticise TPDers who do not post much elsewhere. There was lots of bitterness from people in General who get hung up about post counts rather than seeing them as personal matters. They particularly targeted people who drivel lots but do not 'contribute' elsewhere.
I knocked up a spreadsheet and was amazed to discover who the worst offender was.
But then, given that 'contribute elsewhere' consists mostly of "No. Next." and "Find out for yourself, newbie", a low drivel% isn't necessarily a sign of grown up behaviour either.
Based on non-TPD posts, I am ranked at least 160th. Above unknowns such as:
Nixon Williams
Captain Jack
Wilmslow
RandyW
Bumfluff
