It's a good question. I wouldn't worry about betting on it since I can find no Vegas Odds on this thread. However, I also didn't search very hard for those odds, which is to say that I didn't search at all.

Funny, just before I read GUEST's post, I was working it out. It's not exactly speeding along, is it.

I calculate at the rate it is going, it should reach 5000 by about February 6, 2008. I think I'd rather spend my time Watching paint dry (yawn!)

I have calculate (based on the current average daily posting and a devilish clever adjustment by application of Simpson's Rule and fitting the mean result by distribution under the Normal Curve and then by extrapolating the results), I predict that this post will have exactly 5000 posts at precisely 15 minutes past 5 o'clock on 28th December 2016, this date by an amazing coincidence coincides to the exact second with my 66th birthday. Now isn't that serendiptious

Now. Let us ponder this. MOAB is presently at 12727 posts. It is a safe bet to say that MOAB shall soon top 13,000 head on toward 14,000 and eventually pass 15,000. And this shall happen because a mere handful, a very small percentage of members have slogged along, steadily posting their thoughts, feelings, grunts, farts and any and everything else one can imagine.

This can just as easily happen to this thread, even though it is created by a "new and bored" "me" who is not even a member of this fine and astute collection. All it takes is a few of us to post a thought or two regularly. which means that within a year, or two or so, Little hawk could be banging the dookey outta Winona Rider, though I'd prefer Minnie Driver myself.

I kept hearing my name mentioned over here on this thread, so I thought I'd come check it out. My advice to everyone is to ignore this thread. It is a vapid, flacid attempt at the grandeur which is TheMother Of All BS Threads. It is so pointless that one might actually think it was started by one of my more intellectually challenged children. But, I'm pretty sure it wasn't. After over 12,000 posts I can usually recognize their writing styles.

Yes? Well let me put you to the test, MOAB...I will write something and you tell us all who wrote it just by your analysis of the writing style. Okay, here goes...Wait! I have already written something! So...who wrote this ? Tell us, and we will believe you!
Whoops! I forgot the rules.
1. Read all rules.
2. Then have someone read the passage to you.
3. Be blindfolded when they are reading this to you.
4. Tell them not to read the name in the "From" above this message.
5. Submmit your results in typing on this forum in this thread.
6. Do not mention my typo of putting two "m"s in "submit".

Why, khandu, that's an easy one! The identity of "mystery writer" is no mystery to me!

It's not Rustic Rebel because there's no mention of bodily fluids. It's not Rapaire because the post doesn't smell like potatoes. It's not Bee-dubya because there's no profanity. It's not Little Hawk because there's no mention of Shatner. It's not Stilly River Sage because she knows how to spell "submit".

Therefore, by the process of elimination, I have concluded that "mystery writer" is obviously Amos. Unless, maybe, it's Tweed. Or Chongo Chimp. Or Gluon the Cosmic Duck-Dog.
