This table attempts to compare a couple of things – what percentage of the threads on ORP a particular poster has posted to, and (where available) what are the average number of posts he/she makes to the threads he/she posts to. For example:

Counsellor has posted on 51 of the 1000 threads for an average of 5.1% of the ORP threads, and with 91 total posts on those 51 threads averages 1.8 posts per thread (ppt) he posts on.

ozstamps = 26.9% @ 3.4 ppt
doc = 25.3% @ 2.0 ppt

Rudi = 15.3% @ 1.7 ppt
ScottC = 14.6% @ 2.6 ppt
FewMiles = 14.0% @ 1.8 ppt
Punki = 11.3% @ 3.3 ppt
Gaucho100K = 11.1% @ 1.7 ppt
gleff = 10.6% @ 1.9 ppt

PremEx = 9.3% @ 1.7 ppt
skofarrell = 8.0% @ 3.6 ppt
CameraGuy = 8.0% @ 3.1 ppt
anonplz = 7.8% @ 3.6 ppt
rssrsvp = 7.8% @ 1.7 ppt
Catman = 6.8% @ 1.8 ppt
robb = 6.5% @ 2.4 ppt
attorney28 = 6.3% @ 4.1 ppt
SPN Lifer = 5.9% @ 2.8 ppt
cblaisd = 5.8% @ 1.9 ppt
NJDavid = 5.7% @ 2.5 ppt
Counsellor = 5.1% @ 1.8 ppt

ClueByFour = 4.9% @ 2.4 ppt
dovester = 4.8% @ 5.0 ppt
jfe = 3.9% @ 3.7 ppt
arturo = 3.6% @ 2.6 ppt

Caveats:
- Nothing is intended or implied by this statistical table; it’s just interesting to me.
- My math may be wrong, so no guarantees (if someone spots an error, PM me and I’ll fix it or delete the information objected to).
- The statistics can change from day to day, radically so when a person only posts on a few threads.
- The statistics (like all averages) may be misleading, since a person involved in one intense thread may post a high PPT while having a low overall average PPT, and vice versa.
- This does not consider when people were posting. For instance, NJDavid hasn't been posting recently, so if the percentage figures only took into consideration the time he was active they would be different; similarly, dovster has been here for less than one year, so if you considered only the threads active since he joined, his "percentage" statistics would also be much different.
- This table is not complete, being a non-random non-sample.
- Again, nothing intended or implied, and if anyone has any heartburn, let me know.
