All my postings from 2002 have vanished, so they aren't included in the Mudcat automatic tally. Nevertheless, that's a lot of time wasted since September, 2000. Figure on at least two mintes per posting, it works out to 33.3 hours, or nearly a whole week of work, assuming a 35-hour work week. Imagine all the other things I could have done. |

" People used to write letters....longhand... to relatives. It took them MUCH longer to get responses and it was a lot harder to say what you wanted to say. I'll take this form of time-wasting....it has brought me a lot of pleasure and friends. |

And you can post to the Mudcat without having to wipe your ass! |

I was welcomed on board by a number of members and I am now up to 2948 post. If I read this correctly, post's also include threads started. Yes?..How many threads have I or you started is not separated from post. Am I correct on this? If I wanted to see how many threads I have(or you have) started can it be found? Beer (adrien) |

20 Nov 08 - 06:55 AM (#2498304) Subject: RE: BS: This makes 1000 postings for me From: JohnInKansas The mudcat record shows me at 8,890 posts; but that's only to 3,659 threads. (I guess maybe I've been repeating myself if I'm averaging 2.42 posts per thread.) I don't know of a simple way to sort out how many threads a person has started. I doubt that my numbers would be competitive there, since I'm more inclined to replies than to starting threads; but it might be a bit scary to find out. A fair percentage of my posts take more like a half-hour per, so I guess I've wasted about two man-years on them. (2088 mh/yr is a nominal average in most business estimating, for 40 hr/week. I've never heard of a different standard for ol' fart years.) That doesn't, of course, count the ones that took so long to write up that someone else beat me back and they never got posted, or the ones where I didn't find a good answer and just gave up. John |

20 Nov 08 - 11:17 AM (#2498493) Subject: RE: BS: This makes 1000 postings for me From: Bill D I have posted almost 24,000 times, and I find I have only started about 6 threads in the last 2400 posts. I'd guess that that ratio is about my usual, so way less than 100 started in over 12 years. (mostly on tech stuff or where to find archives of music...etc.) Sometimes I think..."hey, I'll post that on Mudcat!" But then I think..."nahhh, that's too silly." Then I read the 27 even sillier ones someone else has started that day.... Obviously, I am not needed to keep the 'silly' ball rolling. |
