Post Counts

[Superman]

Have we had this conversation before? Over the years, I have offered an embarrassing number of forum posts on this website. More than 20K. Let's assume each post takes thirty seconds.

20K * 30 seconds is 600,000 seconds.

600K seconds is 10,000 minutes.

10K minutes is 166.67 hours.

Now, I am a loudmouth but even so, I spend considerably more time reading than writing so let's say 166.67 represents only 1/4 of my time here.

166.67 * 4 = 666.67 hours

Work weeks are forty hours. For the lucky or the lazy, at least. And so....

666.67 / 40 = 16.67 weeks

Four full time months. That's nuthin. There are folks with more than 60K posts. This would be closer to a full time year. And this dovetails with my anecdotal observation that some folks seem to be actively participating in conversations on this site nearly all the time. Some are so reliably present here that I think the "full time year" estimation may grossly understate the actual amount of time spent. I'm not calling anyone out here, and not making judgments. Who am I to point a finger with 22K posts?

This is addictive behavior. Pelican. Various forums. The Internet.

Hm.

Your analysis ignores my ability to multi-task. I post on the forum at the same time I am making critically important decisions. See, two birds with one stone.

You're fired!

Oops, that was something else I was working on.

My post count is stupid high. Most of that is in the old random pictures thread, and the new random pictures thread. That and the Stijn thread. Remove those two sources, and I am at a very average post count.

Lot of photo posts can take just seconds to upload the photo and move on.
I have
Over 18K is the old random pics.
Over 19,000 in the Stijn thread.

Not just a champion at posting, but you beat me by a couple of months when signing up.

Bingo. Plus, I'm retired and 77 years old...a little late to hang out at the high school and chase cheerleaders. What else to do but mess about on the net?

My favorite pool hall still closed thanks to the orders of Kommisar Kate Brown of Oregon.
