I suspect I read about 80 -100 posts for every one I make.
I learn more that way. I hope.

Maybe we need a click counter too!
Sort of like how they always say you have two ears and one mouth, therefore you should listen twice as much as you talk. I always liked that saying.

Get off my lawn!

Even I have read way more than I post. Many posts I read, I have no real comment on. And the posts I do reply to, I try to read the entire post before I add my two cents.

I really never posted that much in the tech forum, everybody there was smarter than me. But I read for days.

Actually, as I think about it. I was citing threads. I don't always read every post in a thread. Back when I was building cars I probably did read to the end and came back several times until it died. So individual posts read might be over half a million. The statistic says I post 4.36/day and I'm certain that I look at 20+ threads per day even now. IDT I can even guesstimate. One thing I do know is that at one point the forum deleted a block of my posts so my actual post count is short. When they posted the 10 posters per number of posts I might have hit the top 10 once briefly. Look at some of these folks now past 50K. I think Denis made the point once about how much time in your life was spent here. Scary. |

On average I've posted 2.4 posts per day. I easily read 40 per day, probably more.
40x365x24 years.... 350,400 on the low end.
