Frequency of total posts (give or take a few)
2682 Locker

How does a non-admin type count threads?

probably should calculate the rate of posts, the date of the first one can be easily determined,
most relevant, the total number divided by the number of days posting

I thought you people(climbers, male gender) were supposed to be scientific math geeks????
I can tell you that at one point I felt someone had sort of invaded ST on my heels, and instead of just believeing "what I felt," I decided to look at the numbers(which SO heavily reinforced what I "felt" that I was rather shocked, not to mention pissed at myself for not trusting my feelings....).
What I did, was looked at a certain date, which was significant, and looked at the # of posts in total, and before/after that date. As I'd thought, the frequency increased very dramatically(something like the # of posts made in the 3 months since the "date" were triple the total amount of posts made in the 6 months prior to the particular date. I didn't go back to the #1 first post because...well, I am not quite as OCD as that guy who noted all the guidebook changes......thankfully! Too bad we weren't nicer to him; could have asked him to run the data you're wondering about(sorry Johnq - just teasing you).
Anyway - a simpler version, could be to look at a posters history and, since the pages go in blocks of 25, check the date for the 25th(50th, 75th, 100th, etc.) posts.
For example: On my profile, my posts go like this:
 25th Post - June 15th
50th Post - June 8th
75th Post - June 1st
100th Post - May 26th
(or at least the did, before I hit the "Post this Reply" button. And yes, I do admit that I have a problem..... I am pretty sure I am the most prolific female poster.)

How could your 25th post occur after your 100th post? I think you have your dates wrong.

Happie - think I've got you beat on the posting numbers. (Crimpergirl = approximately 1847, oops make that 1848 posts). Quantity says nothing of quality though!

It's the "last"25 posts, 50 posts, 75 posts, etc. It goes backwards, when you click on a user's profile, where it says "post history" or whatever it says that gives a list of a person's posts on the site.
Crimpie - Phew! Thank gawd I am not the poster girl after all! I quick checked for our last 100 posts, and here are the results.
Me:
25th Post - June 15th
50th Post - June 8th
75th Post - June 1st
100th Post - May 26th
You:
25th Post - June 15th(tied!)
50th Post - June 14th(you pull into the lead....)
75th Post - June 11th(you are way ahead.....)
100th Post - June 8th(no hope for me ever being more proliferate than you unless you go to Yosemite soon.....are those plans shaping up, anyway? I want to go in fall.....)
Anyway - both of us are beat, in post productivity by....hmmmm....who(female) could it possibly be that has this post/dates record????
25th Post - June 20th
50th Post - June 18th
75th Post - June 15th
100th Post - June 14th

My money is on LEB, aka Lois.
I'm too new a contributor to have any record to speak of. I now have the user name Mighty Hiker (Boy Scout nickname), although I use my given name in the text of messages anyway. (The ST server still seems a bit confused about this.) Counting under both names, I'm neither a has-been or a never-was. Which reminds me...

Shorty,
Well you could say that...
But sick in the head depends on your point of view, unless you are eating your neighbors with some fava beans and a nice chianti, or something similar...
BUt the chemo is going well this week, had a sinus infection that got nasty, but still have enough white cells to do OK with a good anti-biotic.
Next week wil lreally suck, the triple dose of camptosar will make me a zombie for about 8-10 days, and the rest of my hair and eyebrows adn eyelashes will fall out, and I'l lbe sticking close to teh toilet hahahahaahaha!
And I'll try to give werner a double ration of blathering shyte about religion and philosophy, since he loves that so much.
One reason I really don't like philosophy or religion much is that I find that they have little or nothing to do with the battle to stay alive.
These constructs come as a result of living, or the lack of it. They do not determine living, and so philosophy and religion are very eager to put the cart before the horse, because they try to jump out in front of living and guide it, when it is the living and experience that comes with it that matters.
Simply put, philosophy/religion is a luxury, only available to those with leisure to devote to such things. Since they are a luxury then, they are not needed. but people crave them, because they want order where there is none, and meaning where they can't find any.
But meaning is what you make it. Making implies doing, which is living.
LOL, enough crap!

Actually, that was quite profound. Lots of food for thought.

NO!!
I am NOT a philosopher!!!
I am a failed mathematician, which still makes me INFINITELY more qualified to deal with reality that any philospher, ROTFLMAO!!!!!
But thanks for the compliment.
Here's one more bit though:
Serious threat of imminent death from within has a way of helping one focus. It's really too bad we can't all live with that sort of outlook.
Even though I have been here before, and learned it once, still I became complacent and began to take life for granted again.
I won't do that twice, I hope.
Better do what you really want to do TODAY, and start enjoying your life, cause you never know when it could get really bad, as in, game over, LOL.
I was damned lucky to learn this once.
I'll be damned if I will forget it again.
