As long as we're hopefully quoting humoursly, I have empathy. I've been on this thing before 9/11 and try not to post unless I have something reasonably relevant---usually to what I'm interested in. Turns out, with a big involved audience, we're all not focusing on the same things. So I have (lost count) about 1800+ posts. My wife thinks I post too much (fine, we're married 54+ yrs), but my main focus is: are we getting a fair shake from the airlines and system that we travel on? My other thing: is helping other flyers with information that I think all of us should have, again, hopefully with a threshold of relevance.

That said, I am impressed by those who have over 50,000, even 70,000 posts. That's a helluva lot. Can't fathom it. One of my thresholds is: "Am I contributing anything helpful to other flyers?. To that end, I have often deleted posts before sending when I think my contribution wasn't really elevating anything. Still keep my self-esteem. I hope that the >50,000 posters have something else going on in their lives.

So, a boarding group for >1,000 posts sounds interesting, but I don't think it has pertinence to boarding a flight, even subtracting for snark or young-inp-cheek.
