Women don't have the time to post that much -- they are too busy trying to avoid me.

Consider that posting may be a way of trying to do the same.

Clearly you're gonna get to that 100k first! We'll need a FT 1k program.

I think a FT 12 step program would be a better description...

Clearly as clear as mud.

... and now for something as clear as water: I'm not counting on that 100k.

I run a small ishBulletin Board based around my industry.

One member has ~140,000 posts and another ~115,000. Both made in a few short years.

The mind boggles at how folks manage that many.

One is a guy who is medically constrained to sitting in one place for many hours a day, so it seems like posting on the board is his way to pass the time.

Probably half of them are complaining about the Argentina reciprocity fee

I doubt that is a major concern in Ozstamps's line of work.

Randy & Steph3n, this is my brother!

He only 'mentioned' FT to me - many years ago & pointed out that he'd forgotten his FT handle (has clearly recovered it -- since then!)

You both know me & know that I have participated a lot in the FT community in the short time that I've been here!

I only found this thread because I was looking to see if anything was posted on the Sept 10/11 DO activities cited in Capt Denny's e-mail!

Left? LOL! You're sure? Really? How can you be so sure? Oh, BTW, wasn't it more like 7 and a half yrs? Just asking! LOL!

Really? I don't recall seeing those posts! 'Nothing much'? Simple Presence? According to who? Evidence of such? Unlike this post I've quoted? Too much, LOL!

Really? 'had to be there?' Actually I was there! LOL! Out of deference? Perhaps one could have deferred a bit earlier on? Just asking!

"Ditto" posts? LOL! "He?" "on here 24hrs?" Yeah, he never slept - subhuman, 'he' was a 'bot' 4 sure! Great content rich posts.. LOL, too much!

Absolutely correct, IMHO..

Of course, this post I've just made would surely be yet another 'presence' post, entirely lacking in 'content'!

Hey, quick shout out and best wishes to all FTers.. Hope you're all having a great weekend

This will be my last post on this 'subject'

Happy Holidays!
