Quick, without looking, how many posts do you have?

[efhmc]

I'm thinking I have about 3500. Edited to add that I looked it up an it is 4546. Can't remember when I looked last but at the beginning I was very aware of the numbers.

[davidinalameda]

1. 10765

just checked before I saw this thread

[7th_Sephiroth]

2. u have 4546

i have a little under 4500

[JVS]

3. around 11300

[efhmc]

8. Good gravy, now long have you been here?

[JVS]

10. 3 months

;-)

[efhmc]

18. No WAY!!!

[Darknyte7]

113. About 460...

I've been here for almost two months now...

[motely36]

4. 2072?

Just a guess.

[sundog]

5. I don't care

I really don't.

Not today anyway. :P

[efhmc]

30. Rightly so. In the scheme of things a trifle. Just being silly.

[sundog]

36. I don't care

:7

Just kiddin of course... :P

Please don't take me seriously :hi:

[efhmc]

41. Don't or do, you can have it anyway you want in my book.

[name not needed]

6. 5600?

Just checked, 5832.

[terrya]

7. Around 13,670...or thereabouts.

[efhmc]

21. I feel like I know DU royalty. That is amazing.

[greendog]

9. uhmmmm...784?

.

[efhmc]

27. Perhaps, dummy me, should have said those with OVER 1000 posts.

[greendog]

38. Oh, so now you're going to start discriminating...

...what kinda liberal are you, anyway? :P

[efhmc]

42. One who is smart enough(finally) to know that you do not need to GUESS!

[HeyManThatsCool]

11. 675?

not sure, I'll look after I post this


B-)

[efhmc]

29. Funny guy. Please see my mea culpa about those under 1000. (#27)

[bigwillq]

12. Just over 10,000

Cause I just hit 10K about an hour ago!

[Padraig18]

13. About 16000, I think.

I haven't checked in a long time.

:shrug:

[ScreamingMeemie]

22. Big mouth....

:hug: and healing vibes...

[Dookus]

14. I guess

around 20,500 or so.

[ScreamingMeemie]

25. Dookus!!! How I have missed you madly.

:loveya: It is so wonderful to see you, dear friend. How's Tucker?

[Dookus]

28. You're back?!?!

How are you?! Is everything OK? Does Jessie miss me?

Tucker's just dandy!

[ScreamingMeemie]

32. Jessie misses you terribly. She is going through a "thing" right now.

She feels as if I don't pay her nearly enough attention...i.e. I only played fetch 918 times today instead of 1,000.

Me, I am slowly working on getting back to healthy. I am way better with just a touch of wheeziness in my lungs and a slight herniation of my surgery...so I must not do stairs or lift anything...Today is my first day back at DU with a passion and it is so wonderful to be back.

[efhmc]

90. Sorry to break in on a private "thing" but glad you are better and back.

[Ekirh]

15. With this one I'm guessing 508

Edit: At the time of this post.. I missed by one...

[sakabatou]

16. 650

[Worst Username Ever]

17. 4240-ish

Damn, off by 40.

[CO Liberal]

19. 27,000

I've been busy.

ON EDIT: 27,554 - to be exact.

[efhmc]

34. Okay, how long have you been here and how fast can you type?

[CO Liberal]

80. I Joined DU on September 9, 2001

And I've been posting practically every day ever since.

[efhmc]

82. Now that is eerie. Did you find it strange that you first posted right

before 9-11-01?

[CO Liberal]

86. Not Strange, But Good

It helped having like-minded people to communicate with on those days after 9/11.

[efhmc]

89. What were some of the thoughts and questions then? I know that many had

doubts and theories later but what was it like at the time?

[CO Liberal]

135. If I Remember Correctly....

...there was a lot of speculation about government involvement, almost from the moment the planes hit.

(Sorry I haven't responded sooner - I've been sick.)

[ScreamingMeemie]

20. perhaps 15246? I don't know...

:shrug:

[loudestchick]

23. Just guessing--635

I'm good! actual #640.

[deadparrot]

24. I checked yesterday...I'd guess about 1862.

ETA: 1865.

[da_chimperor]

26. probably around 10

:)

[efhmc]

35. Is that the total for TODAY???

Love that picture.

[da_chimperor]

40. It is when multiplied by 4

Thanks for the compliment. I like it too. :D

[da_chimperor]

39. D'oh, replied to my own post

[efhmc]

44. Hey, that's the way to get your numbers up.

Sometimes, I wish I had an alias so I could be a devil's advocate for my own goofy ideas. Argue with myself so to speak. Now that's really weird.

[da_chimperor]

51. That's been done before, and it was quite funny to read

but the individual doing it was told by the mods to knock if off.

[efhmc]

53. Why, I like the idea. It shows that liberals can see both sides of the

question. How much more human and responsive can one get?

[da_chimperor]

56. The case I'm mentioning was a DUer playing as a born-again power lifter

for the purpose of staging a rather humorous dialog. Then Jesus™ got in on the action.

[efhmc]

60. Wow, I need to read that one. Is it available in the archives?

[da_chimperor]

66. It should be

They deleted the characters, but search for JoshStrength (or some variation of that) and Jesus™ in the lounge. It was no more than 3 months ago methinks. Dunno how soon we'll be off defcon 1 though.

[efhmc]

72. Going to try it now. The people here are such a kick. They always lift me

up.

[Darth_Kitten]

31. 4562

I'm guessing....

[Darth_Kitten]

33. actually 4209.....

I overestimated. :)

[koneko]

37. Just hit 300 this weekend

so I'm guessing somewhere between 300-310.

[efhmc]

46. Are you fairly new? If so or not, glad to have you and keep on posting.

[koneko]

71. I've been around for about 2 months now.

I'm working on getting my post #s up.

Thanks for the welcome!!

[efhmc]

76. What threads do you find interesting? Have you started any on your own? I

I was here for quite a while before I started one and then it was about leaving because I was so angry at the Texas bashing. Now I can see the point and just let those threads ride. Texas has lots of
of crude to answer for. So many nice people I know have been so deceived.

[guitar man]

43. 2600?

[guitar man]

45. Actually, 2256

hadn't looked in a long time. :crazy:

[efhmc]

47. Were you here when everyone had all their numbers posted, not just

those under 1000?

[guitar man]

94. no

when I showed up in November of '03, the 1000+ thing was already going on if I remember right.

[efhmc]

98. It was kind of a competitive freaky thing, (for some, well maybe just me)

that one wanted to get to the next level to get recognized and congratulated on line for achieving that number of posts. Probably why they did away with it. Oh, well, on to newer and better things.

[guitar man]

109. I don't worry about it

I hang out here when I have the time. I'm busy working a job and running a business so I can't be here a whole lot anymore. Post count is the furthest thing from my mind.

[benny05]

48. Roughtly 135, maybe more?

Still a newbie...

[ElsewheresDaughter]

49. 10,075?

damn i was close...10087

[efhmc]

52. When did you come to DU. I came after the 2002 election. I was so

frustrated but,silly me, just did not think things could get much worse. I was convinced that Americans would wake up and smell the manure and make the changes that need to be made. "What Kind of Fool am I?" as the song goes.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

59. sometime in 2001...hey kerry did win but BBV fraud did him in this time

they never use the same method twice for election theft...now they are about to introduce a bill to end term limits...talk about "just when ya thought it couldn't get any worse"...wake me up when america gets back!

[efhmc]

67. Sorry to tell you ,but that is going to be some kind of long repose.

[MrSlayer]

50. Somewhere around 3300.

Not exactly sure.

[efhmc]

55. 3385, very close. I peeked.

[Taxloss]

54. 1390-ish, I think.

[efhmc]

57. 1396, now that is VERY close. BTW, how did you get/pick that name?

[Taxloss]

69. I've used it as a screen name for 9 years.

It's the name of a song by a band called "Mansun", and it was playing when I had to think of a screen-name to log into a network back at uni. The song was playing, I thought the word "Taxloss" sounded good, and since then I've used it whenever I would rather not use my real name.

I even called my blog "taxloss": http://www.taxloss.blogspot.com

Mansun are a pretty good band, incidentally. They've written some very good songs.

ON EDIT:

I was going to guess "about 1400" but thought that sounded like too much. So I nudged down.

[efhmc]

73. Went to the blog. So are you a Brit? (Is that really what you call

yourselves?) I wanted to post but couldn't. If you are a Brit, what did you think of your prince thinking that being a Nazi was a cool thing? Poor baby, he so desperately needs his mom, as we are do to help us do right in life. That pop of his is a no-goer. Except for the culture swabbed onto him, he is a bush. He hasn't a clue of what real life is about.

[Taxloss]

79. Yes, I'm a Brit, and we like the term Brits.

That's how we refer to ourselves. Is that odd?

I think Harry is a fool, and I can't stand Charles. The man seems happy to spout rubbish about things he doesn't know anything about.

But then, I'm a republican. In the British sense of "wanting a republic", not in the American sense.

[efhmc]

85. Please elaborate. To Americans, (not the parties) the term republican

is much less inclusive than the term democrat, although the definitions are very closely aligned.

[Taxloss]

110. It's a completely different thing.

In Britain republicans (small r) favour the United Kingdom dropping the monarchy and begoming a republic or commonwealth. 90% of UK republicans, I would estimate, are left-wing and many are hard-left. There is no formal republican organisation or movement. It's nothing to do with US Republicanism, I assure you.

[Mojambo]

58. 3397?

And the real number? 3338.

[ikojo]

61. 4100 or there abouts....

Trying to work up to 5k

[RawMaterials]

62. 430

[St. Jarvitude]

63. 2347

[St. Jarvitude]

64. A little too high

2194

[crispini]

65. 2700?

Edited to add: 5297! Whoa!

[Left Is Write]

68. 3750. Or something like that.

[Left Is Write]

70. I was close. As of this post, 3725.

[mojavekid]

74. 112, no wait!, make that 113!!

n/t.

[efhmc]

81. Respond to this, "No wait,make that 114," "No wait, make that 115."

[mojavekid]

99. "No wait!, make that 114!"

Thanks!!!!! This conceivably could keep me amused for DAYS!

[Crandor]

75. about 15... :( n/t

[efhmc]

87. Good Evening and Welcome. What brought you here?

[Piperay]

77. 10,500

I remember when I hit 10,000 not sure how many after that so just guessing.

EDIT: 10,727 bit more than I thought. :-)

[montana_hazeleyes]

78. I think about 836

I escaped the 700 club not long ago so it's probably around that #.

[SarahB]

83. 7600

edit:
close 7683 here

[NightTrain]

84. More than 11,000.

[efhmc]

88. So, have you been here a spell? How did you get to such a high number?

[NightTrain]

107. Just checked my profile. Turns out, my post count is 12,227!

To answer your questions, I've been posting to D.U. for about two years now. And I got such a high post count because I just don't know when to shut up! :eyes:

[RevolutionaryActs]

91. Um.. I think I have about 3700?

Edit: I really have 3690, with this post 3691. I was very close! YAY ME :7

[Lone_Star_Dem]

92. 1,400-1,500

:shrug:


edit: I don't seem to keep track of my post count very well. 1710

[RevolutionaryActs]

95. You have 1710

:D

[Lone_Star_Dem]

96. Everyone else was closer....

I suck! :(

[RevolutionaryActs]

97. Aww, I was only close because I looked the other day.

No worries! :D

[pres2032]

93. um, 2120 i think

edit: haha, i was off by two, i have 2118

[efhmc]

100. Great, now tell me what the pres2032 is about. Are you planning on

being our pres. then and if so, tell me your platform now because I wil be really, really, really old then, if alive and I need to know in advance who to tell my grandchildren to vote for.

[pres2032]

105. hm, i'd be glad to tell you.

I would like to run for public office. I'd eligable to run for president much earlier, but I want to work my way up the ladder, so to speak. I would want to run as the Pennsylvania Governor with past US Senatorial experience.
I would be for lowering significantly the taxes of the poor and lower middle class, and lowering the taxing of the rest of the middle class, though not as much. I would either keep them as is or raise the taxes of the rich. If you can afford it, you can pay it.
Welfare social programs would be expanded greatly, universal health care if we don't have it yet. I would also put in place a safety net, where the government provides for anyone who recently lost a job and anyone who is seriously trying to find one. Of course there would be agencies to make sure people were serious. I like bush's Faith based initiative and would make sure that all religious institutions were funded adaquetly and equally. All sects would be funded, as long as they helped anyone who came through their doors.
Defense budget would be cut by at least 2 billion to create the best education system in the world, teachers paid 6 figure salaries. Doctors would be protected from frivolous lawsuits (big issue where i'm from) but of course people could sue and possibly charge them if malpractice is proven.
Everyone will and shall be equal. Women will be paid as much as Men, affirmative action would be greatly amended so it was as fair to all as possible. I would want Roe V Wade overturned, but not before we fix society to a point where women would have no fear bringing a child into the world. Until that point, roe v. wade stands.
Like I said, defense would be cut, but of course I would make sure it was funded enough to have the best hardware and equipment. Internationally, all major treaties would be signed and the US would take a greater role in the international community and we would NEVER START A WAR ALONE! OR START A WAR, PERIOD!
I would make it a point to visit every state at least twice every year of my presidency. There will be no more forgetting the mid-west and the other small states. EVERYONE IS INCLUDED.

[donheld]

101. i also have about 3500

but then who's counting.

[efhmc]

102. Good question, why are they counting? Do they count on other

boards?

[baldguy]

103. 3284

4634! Wow!

[efhmc]

104. So you post more than you know. Now why is that?

[baldguy]

106. damnedifiknow

[Salviati]

108. My guess: 1250

actual number: 1214, so not that far off...

[kick-ass-bob]

111. About 2900

I looked not too long ago.

[scarlett1]

115. I believe this post will be 203

[GoddessOfGuinness]

[ThorsHammer]

[ronnykmarshall]

119. Over 10,000

[Arkana]

120. around 2200 posts, I think

Honestly, I didn't look.

[Jackpine Radical]

121. Jeez, I have no idea.

5 or 6,000 maybe. Been here a long time but I'm not a very prolific poster.

[Jackpine Radical]

122. Just looked. 6896.

6897 with this one, I guess.

[ProfessorGAC]

123. Around 9100, I'd Guess

I hit 9000 recently, but i don't check every week. I just check when i have a feeling i'm coming up on a nice round number. (Nines a zeroes are pretty round, right?)

[ProfessorGAC]

124. I Was Wrong

[LeftyMom]

136. Getting real close to the 700 club

My hair's fluffing up and I can feel my ass get fat. Pretty sure my IQ's dropping faster than .... oh shit, I can' think of a decent similee. This really is making me dumb!

Expect the mother of all "ask me anything" posts so I can get through quickly.
