There is a Stats button on the home page...

Which, alas, I am not authorised to use. Presumably only the forum Illuminati get access to this secret knowledge. Cue conspiracy theories  :)

Clearly I know the right way to click, or is it the secret click...

But we all know it's not just about quantity.

Westie, though not in that top ten regularly adds a certain je ne sais quoi to the forum. Like duck flavoured ice-cream.

Tawa posts with stiletto efficiency. It goes with his fish-nets.

D_guy and jimduncanuck (?) come in with some wrong-side-of-the-pond wholesomeness. One can almost scent the wide open spaces in their work. I do think D_guy once posted the word "gee" which makes my point exactly.

Bigjackmac deserves a place on the contributors for his recreation of Tom Clancy novels in 10mm, and his novel use of pipe cleaners. (Does anyone use pipe cleaners to clean pipes anymore?)

Dave posts but rarely. However, when he does, the entire forum comes to a respectful hush until it has read and digested the prognostication of the Darker Lord.

Some of us though, can achieve both quality and quantity



I feel an awards ceremony coming on.

In this country, with that size population, Edinburgh, Indiana, would be a village. Bet they pronounce it Eedin burg.

Well, stick that in your caber and toss it!

Hang on though. There have been some snide insinuations that Duckman is not a real person. If this is so, then we're back at 1799, and we need to take the Marengo Prize away from whoever's just joined and give it to the next person to join.

Which side of the pond do you think I come from?

We just took a head count over here and Jim didn't answer when his name was called. Not absolute proof since we were short about 217 but a good bet he is not from here. Hope this helps clear things up!

Yah! 1800 (unless fsn makes a formal request for a re-count in which case I know some folks in Florida can help with that).
