BS: Who Doth Post Most?

Subject: Who Doth Post Most?
From: Bugsy

I was just checking back over some of my previous postings when I noticed that they were all numbered. A quick scroll to the bottom of the page revealed that I have made 569 postings to Mudcat in just over 1 year.

Just out of curiosity I checked out 'Spaw's tally.

7609 since the day before Christmas eve in 1998! AND STILL CLIMBING!

Is this a record? Is 'Spaw the Mudcat Posting Champion?

No.....Kat is several hundred ahead and started about three weeks later. I, on the other hand, missed an entire month last year in May when I had the blown aorts and then the small bowel resection. I think Meebo may be hitting big on a "post/day" basis.

A hyena was bragging about her populous litter. "See!!", she chortled at the resting lioness nearby. "Eight young in a single day! While you have given birth to only ONE! Ha!"

"You are quite right," replied the lioness.

"But that one is a lion!"

My posts would be much more inspired if I actually WAS using vital energy for Mudcat posting. Unfortunetly, all my energy is being eaten up by insane photography class and Carl the evil Communication Arts teacher. They get all my gas. You folks get the fumes. And Amos, with the torrential rains we were having here today, a Harley would have been the worst thing possible! Besides, I don't think my sister would go for riding on the back of one!

Having once gone out with a professional violinist who happened to be participating in a long concert series in which her orchestra was doing vast amounts of Telemann for some ridiculous reason, I can assure you -- having had to lovingly sit through this experience, including rehearsals -- that Telemann wrote lots of what I can only call Muzak crapola. If I never hear any Telemann ever again, I will count myself blessed. I would rather sit and listen to Mbo play the collected works of ELO on the Hohner harmonica. Truly.

What's more important than how often you post but the quality and content of what you post.

For example, what's with the current rash of what's your favorite this and that posts. What's your favorite ice cream? Maybe I'm just being a curmudgeon but you'll notice that you won't find my handle on these threads. Let them die out, for heaven's sake.

Praise said this twice but both messages somehow got deleted. SO here it is again.

RANT ON:

Well I have a bone to pick. I got a lot of heat once upon a time for overposting, and ya know what? A whole lotta them "posts" was to type REFRESH on MUSIC THREADS when I was volunteering to help keep them MUSIC THREADS up top and prominent for NEWCOMERRS who wanted MUSIC THREADS and for oldtimers who could help in MUSIC THREADS.

And then there were the posts to encourage NEW MEMBERS to get involved and share their thoughts on MUSIC TOPICS. And when the heat began, I don't recall anyone pointing that little fact out. Whatever!

I had been working from home with a medical problem during this and it was a good deal-- entertainment and uplifting for me, people to talk to, and a little volunteer effort. And I found a voice. (And Mudcat was generally very patient as I did that.)

And then I resumed a full work schedule and lost the home computer and now I don't post nearly as much, and now people want to know (in PM's), where's PRAISE????? Why aren't you posting as much as you were? Is something WRONG?????

RANT OFF.

Come on. It was just a rant. Don't I get to do that once in a blue blue moon?

Amos, for a moment there your "lion" post almost shut me up. It was quite brilliant - and succinct. Instead, I find myself being only half as brief as I ought to be, which makes me (according to Kendall) a half wit or (according to Dorothy Parker) very provocative (oh, but I am feeling naughty).

You may have to wait a bit, but soon a page will come up with every post you've ever posted to the forum. The last one you posted will be at the top of the list and labelled "1". If you scroll to the bottom, the number by the last post on the thread tells how many you have in all.

Note my figures are only approximate and may not count every post and in most cases I have gone by what has been stated in here. A bit of fun though.

Also, I could have reduced my average by including my first couple of posts which were made a couple of months before I started posting regularly.

I don't think you'd make the top 20 Rick, but what would be really fun is to break the postings down into categories. Happiest poster. Meanest poster. silliest poster. Most helpful. Most colorful language. Quickest to take offence. Oldest poster. Youngest. Most aliases. Worst speller. (often me) Sexiest poster, etc.

Hey Jon....you left out kat!!! She's up there at the top I believe. Its interesting to see mousethief there too. I think a lot of new folks go bats at first and I think ratso, er, uh, mousethief will pretty much be around for a long time. I think the first two months or so that Amos was here he really had the top per diem covered for awhile.

Ah, but do they have the legs to go the distance? Can they stand the test of time? That's the question!!

My guess would have been Mbo, but it looks like Kat takes it. I have been assisted lately by my reflection, which insists on attacking me for some reason, despite never having had an original thought in his life. I think he's really ticked off now, because when I went to brush my teeth a few minutes ago and looked in the mirror, he wasn't there! Absolutely nothing to be seen whatsoever, except an empty bathroom. He's bloody well walked out on me! It sure is hard to find good help these days, but I note that my shadow is still faithfully tagging along, and I dare say that my reflection will come crawling back when he has a chance to reflect upon his actions, so to speak.

Keep on posting. Spaw, Kat may have beaten you on postings, but I bet you are still leading in farts on the Mudcat!

Oops. Always profrude. I joined in 2000. So I am posting fewer days and have a higher average.

Where is the graph that shows the newbie posting syndrome of posting on every thread possible until carpal tunnel syndrome sets in and forces some restraint? And the disillusionment phase when suddenly all the threads look boring and there is a drop off in posts from what had become a reasonable rate?

It would be SO FUNNY if a sociologist came to study all this!

Did you say that you always protrude, Praise? I think they have certain types of heavy duty bras and corsets and things to deal with that problem... :-D

Spaw - I am offended that you have pointed out my shortcomings only 639 times out of 7615 postings. Deeply offended. Have you been talking to my reflection?

Well Hawk, you've only been on 60 days and I figure ten times a day is enough unless you are wimping out on your life like Meebo where we have all pretty well given up hope and only occasionally mention that he's without any real world experience.

Can you imagine if every time we posted our posting statistics showed up on the screen?
Kind of like race horse or base ball averages.

Tacky ? Tacky ? You miss MT ? Well, so do I. I had a lot banter with MT in the threads and a lot of PMcon's also. I consider MT a friend of mine. And I take umbridge at your comments. I can only surmise that you people know MT better than I and also that you must know why he doesn't post. Otherwise, I see nothing tacky about my posts. And I'm sure if MT reads them, he won't either.

Exactly, Peg.

It is tacky to make such comments about someone, esp. when they are not around to return the "banter." Alex took a lot of crap from assholes while he was here, and, I know, dished some out, too, but imo, it is still tacky to have done.

FWIW, last I knew he had a new job which precluded him from much, if any, surfing.

Thanks for setting me straight, ladies. For a minute there, I thought I had made a fo paw in ettaket and caused MT grief of which I was unaware. I PM'd MT immediately upon reading your comments above and apologized for any such grief. As for talking about those who are not present, sometimes you have to invite, coax, even nudge, someone to get a word out of them. I hope you ladies can appreciate this good-natured teasing amongst us lads in the future.

Now, MT, old friend, from one asshole to another... get your pussy-whipped, weeny ass in here. We miss your slant and rant, not to mention your excellent wit and knowledge. And, as you can see from above, the ladies miss your gentlemanship.

Yup, I'm a good ol boy with a good ol boy sense of humour. It must take a great deal of your day telling everyone not to say bad words or things PI... Celtic Soul was right. And I would add that a sense of humour may allow you more time, and a lot less stress.

Gnu;

I am not a politically-correct, Pollyannaish femi-Nazi. If it helps you to think so, do feel free. I have been around the block a few times. I don't tell people what to say or do, but when someone is clearly trying to insult others or makes bigoted comments, yes, I do stand up and say something about it. Gosh, that must make me a judgmental bitch.

And I have a wonderful sense of humor, as all my friends will attest to. You obviously know nothing about me.

If I referred to you as being "pussy-whipped" by your latest lady friend (not that I am am aware of whether that is your sexual preference) I don't think you'd appreciate it, as it reflects negatively on both you and your lady friend.

Maybe you and your circle of friends see this as a friendly bit of ribbing and not an offensive insult. But for the world at large it is a pejorative term and surely you know and can understand that? For you to be so disrespectful of women who are not "part of your circle" means, sorry, that you are disrespectful of women in general.

Think about it for a moment or two.

Ah heck... I just had a PM from someone who told me that the term "pussy-whipped" is far worse than I knew. Gosh, I've heard it used on the TV, albeit from crass individuals. I just never realized it actually is considered that PI. Far worse, I was informed that some people view it's use, even when teasing a fellow, as inciting abuse against women. Now, that really bothers me. Abuse is not to be tolerated, in any form.... even being pussy-whipped, which is definitely not a joke if it actually occurs.

Well, given that explanation, I must say that I will certainly consider future use of this term in a different light.

KatLaughing and Sorcha with Little Hawk all came in close behind Catspaw. However, if we extrapolate a curve of quanity over time; 53 has caught, and twice exceeded the others postings rate. Perhaps, he is out of town, because his current frequency has dropped something awful.
