Last email request had two questions - second about sorting ratings. Thought I'd covered both. Was it something else?

The trailblazer query wouldn't be too hard to write - show you what their first posting after the limit was once you 'noticed' they were past. Still manual though.

I wondered about tying names to something like the periodic table of elements. Change every 100 to the 100* element numer. Something appealing about labeling him Bohrium - the symbol for which is "coincidentally" BH.

Bohrium, or just about anything pertaining to Dr. Bohr for that matter, sounds a trifle boring to me.

Thanks for the link, oh Master Kilt - now lowly bookworm knows she has many, many posts to go before name change occurs (sob!) but this spurs her to do so in as short a time as possible: hiding in this hole is NOT fun.

btw: I think 'post prostitute' excellent if Brad is first (only?) to achieve this rank

MrDude agree?

"Left Behind"? :shock: :lol: Nope (not me, at least) I'm rather agnostic in expression, though I do find religion a terribly interesting subject....

AC? Are you refering to Anti-Christ? No, I would have to have believe in a regular-Christ first.

Yeah, I restrained from posting for like a day just so it would last longer.

/me watches ECM make an attempt on the all-time 1-day IBDoF post count record. :lol:

ECM ... I'd give up if I were you. The 1-day record is probably beyond reach, courtesy of an all-night scream-fest by our very own BKM, who scored 100+ posts in a single night, because of a DNS synch error ... he was stuck all alone in a deserted and obsolete clone of the IBDOF. :slap: :lol:

I don't exactly understand what happened to BKM, could you explain? I've heard about it, but I'm still confused....

Scroll back to the bottom of page 1, and the top half of page 2 of this very thread for the answer :lol:

As for the amount of posts, I was wrong ... I revised my guestimate downward to 100+. :lol:

At long last, I have finally fallen from my lofty perch as most frequent poster ... and soon I shall drop to 3rd.

8.08 PPD = Laurie 8)
7.62 PPD = Brad_H :shock:
6.50 PPD = Aunflin :deviate:

I've also seen my percentage of the total posts pummet from 25% to 17% ... and it's still falling.

n00bs these days - they grow up so fast ... :cry:

/me sings "Memories" :butter:
