What does the number of posts say about you.

[HoughMade]

At the risk of offending those few folks I've missed, here's my take. This based on the length of time here.


0-500= newbie, reticent, mountain man, man/woman of a few well placed words, shy, lurker.

500-under 4995= no pathology here, unless a newbie.

4996-75,000= needs a life, needs to get out more, loves to shmooze, stay @ home mom/dad, disabled, Marxist moderator, prisoner with a laptop, needs more exercise, more talk than action, grumpy old man, not a war hero, needs a life, is fat.

I need help with this list, at least with the last one. Please work it to your own specs.

I can't disagree.

I have noticed the extreme high post count guys are on here 24/7 and feel they must reply to every thread even when they have nothing to contribute...

Not all are that way but...

Wait. What about post whores? How can you leave out such an important cross-section of INGO?

Low post counts just mean you are afraid of speaking your mind to others, introvert........

Heck, everyone I work with is an introvert. I've been told an extroverted coder is someone who looks down at someone else's shoes while conversing.

I heard it's the size of the post that's important.

What qualifies as a post whore? I'm going to say greater than 9K posts over a 1000 day period. Anyone else concur?

Only if you get paid for it. Otherwise, you're a post slut.

I'm just here to find out whatever happened to wallet.

 

[jblomenberg16]

I haven't seen any correlation to quality vs. quantity yet!


BTW...think you may want to look at a post rate in terms of posts / year or something. Some of us have been here for a long time and even though we post a relatively small amount on a daily basis...it does add up!

It has been reported that LT6 stole it, if they existed that is.

 

[db1959]

I will be the first to admit that I don't have a quality post.

We have re-purposed you. Your job is now to keep the "my life in the M.E." thread going.

 

[pudly]

I will be the first to admit that I don't have a quality post.

And yet you have +1 feedback for trading. Hmmm....

 

[Spencir]

I don't have many posts but I'm on here every day and read most of the threads.

Need a life: who wants one? They're expensive.
Mom & dad: have 'em, couldn't live with either
Disabled: nah.
Marxist moderator: neither.
Prisoner w/laptop: no prison or laptop.
Needs more exercise: who doesn't?
More talk than action: nope, pay it forward.
Not a war hero: only in a flight simulator.
Grumpy old man: working on the "old" part.
Needs a life: see above.
Fat: do cops like donuts?
