5000 posts and 11 years a Pelican. Wow! Thanks Wayne!

[LeeH]

Much thanks to Wayne for creating such a great place to hang out.

I signed up for Pelican a month after my daughter was born. Now she's 11! Six 911s have crossed my path during that time.

I'm "between Porsches" now, but still feel at home here. I really appreciate the comradery and lack of BS on the Pelican boards (PARF not withstanding).

PS: Wayne, I still think you should put a "donate" button on the web site for those of us who feel guilty about using bandwidth without buying much.

Slacker!

Definitely. 5000 posts in 11 years? Thats just lazy.

rookie....

Perhaps he has a life, not like some of the habitual offenders.

A life? What's that?

Well on your way to being a post whore.

Lee,

I know how you feel. I've been here 9 years and almost 13k posts and "in between" Porsches right now, too. I'm glad you're here...

[LeeH]

Let's see... 5000 posts. Assuming a roughly estimated but conservative average of 5 minutes reading the OP's post, other responses, and composing my response (5 minutes X 5000) equals 25,000 minutes.

25,000 minutes/60 = 416.67 hours

416.67 hours/24 = 17.36 days of my life posting on pelican

Ok, that's just time related to my 5000 posts.

If you calculate the time spent reading where I didn't post.... I think I don't want to do that math or this might be my last day here. It sort of reminds me of when I made the mistake of going into Quicken and running a report that showed we'd spent $15,000 caring for our cat and dog during their lifetimes.

Some things are best left unknown.

Lee,
Don't do the numbers... trust me...

[Joe Bob]

Numbers lie.....so do goats.....

[livi]

The total time used by all members on Pelican would probably suffice to run a small country..

You THINK before you post?

Some drink before they post

Others link as they post

Most stink as they post

typing faster leaves more read time

[livi]

..and more posts.

Out of curiosity, is there a way to find the longest tenured, still-living, non-banned, active posting Pelican?

I see a few from 2000, any from the 90's? When did Pelican come online?

JA

I feel...lacking in this area.

Thanks for being nothing but pure awesomness, o fearless leader!

I suspect that would be Wayne himself.

[RoninLB]

there is a way to see the post number connected to names by searching around this site

i just tried and couldn't find it
