So who do you think has the most posts?

Amos has over 20K, but is that the highest?

Spaw used to have the most, I think. But he hasn't posted much in the last year, so someone else might have overtaken him.

Yup. Amos has definitely overtaken Spaw, who has 19690 posts since 21-Feb-99.

(Amos has 20102 posts since 30-Jan-00.)

This one makes 2,709 since 10-Apr-98 - 04:24 PM. I'd say my poor showing is because I have a life but of course that isn't really true. <g> Now what we need is some way to show what number or percentage of a person's posts are below the line (BS). That would be an interesting number.

I have no idea how many I've posted. Due to my cable tv internet system, I can't access my list of posts. But I've no doubt some kind Mudcatter will oblige by looking up this interesting fact (and also when I joined, I have no idea)Thanks

I'm at 11,224 posts (counting this one). Not bad. My first post was on July 15th 2000, when I started a thread called "Why are most mudcatters human?" It was a satirical response to a bunch of previous threads asking things like "Why are most mudcatters white?", "Why are most mudcatters heterosexual?", and various similar questions which seemed to be designed to beat some sort of unnecessary drum and arouse pointless controversy amongst the membership.

This was the post:

"Why are most mudcatters human?"

As long as we're trying to find out why most mudcatters are white and heterosexual, this is obviously a question worth asking, don't you think? I mean, it's really quite surprising that we don't have a solid contingent of felines, considering we are mudCATTERS, after all. Then too, my dog howls every time I play the harmonica. Why isn't he a mudcatter? Maybe if we changed the name to the "Muddog Cafe"... We don't have any Martians either. By golly, I think it's time we got to the bottom of this. Without delay.

The responses ranged from the haughty and indignant to the humorous to the helpful (Spaw, for example, was quite helpful). It ended up being an okay thread.

Bullheads receive a little begrudging admiration now and then, but their name still isn't dropped by anglers looking for status. In fact, they are almost entirely ignored in many areas where they are extremely common.

There are six species of North American bullheads. The black, yellow and brown bullhead are the three of interest to anglers. Within their range they are abundant and grow to a harvestable size. Three other bullheads – the flat, snail and spotted bullhead – rarely exceed a foot in length, and their range is confined to small portions of the southeastern United States Consequently, these bullheads rate low as gamefish.


Common Names – Horned pout, greaser, slick, polliwog, polly, paperskin, mudcat, creek cat, stinger, snapper, butterball, bullcat and bullpout.


I googled

mudcat, fish

Do I just count the ones posted under the name of "khandu" or do I include all my other member names such as "Tweed", "alanabit", "Kim C", etc?

My favorite thread; "The D Chord", any "Joe Offer" thread, "A Poem by Spaw?" & "Can I Play Like Doc Watson" thread!

My favourite threads have been the Chongo Chimp ones...but that is simply because it was so much fun for me doing them. There have been 3 (one was about Vlad the Inhaler, and was started by freda underhill). I am not really attempting to draw comparisons to other threads.

All your posts, regardless of what name they were posted under. You can count cookieless posts to if you want.

For what it's worth, this is my #533, dating back to April '03. I probably made a dozen or GUEST posts, sporadically over a couple of years, before joining up.

I never would have looked this up (or known how) without having read this thread. It did whet my curiosity, of course.

Talk about trivia!
