Man, that's a lot of posting. Kind of hard to believe I could have hit the "submit" button that many times. I'm now in the top 25 most prolific posters. I might need more of a life, lol. Have a good Thanksgiving friends and allies (and only those friends and allies). For the rest of you, I'll see you next week
When did you join? I think I have only been posting here for a year and only have 3000 posts or 3500 it would take me a decade to get to 30k lol.. **Edit** - 4k posts... I have been posting a lot lately, I suppose the weather keeps me indoors. It's getting cold.
All that info is on the profile. Looks like he joined on Aug 20, 2011. 20 posts per day on average. Seems realistic if one didn't have many other hobbies - and there are certainly worse hobbies out there.
I have no desire to look at profiles, I would rather have individual tell me, perhaps 20 posts a day is reasonable considering I've recently been putting up that much..... However when I post in binges, then I'm gone for a week or two...
However that is misleading.Says nothing about the number of actual words. Let's say a poster has an average posting of 28 words.Or about 2 or 3 sentences.Versus a poster with double that or over 50 words per post. It would be like comparing a Romance novelist with a Classical Novelist. The romance novelist may have novels with about the same number of pages, but far less in actual content.Meaning a lot of blather. Poppycock and balderdash.Run-on sentences and meaningless chit-chat. Much in the way of horsefeathers and tommyrot. It would be like listening to William F. Buckley debate Piers Morgan on the finer points of being a British Twit.No amount of words could ever decide a winner.Or the lengthiness of said verbiage. Is what.
I joined this website in 2007 and have over 20K posts since. The war in Iraq was going badly, having recently resigned from the military I wanted to lend my support to the war effort..in some small way. I thought a political forum was a way to do this to counter all the negativity in the mainstream media. It's one of the few times I have since changed my mind on a topic. Anyway. One of the motivations to join and be such a prolific poster was to improve my writing skills. I don''t know if I've accomplished that or not. News stories are often passive endeavors, we read them and it's nice to have the opportunity to comment on things and not just passively absorb an event. It's cathartic. In "real" life I'm not particularly politically minded and rarely bring it up at work or social situatioins. This website affords the opportuntiy to discuss politics using the relative veil of anonymity.
