That top ten activity log is a dower vista- it so accuratly mirrors my dissabillity of the last year, seeming recovery, descent into pain and depression (a pun, there- yes?), slow recovery via medication- then end of year lung infection care of after-dark Christmas cycling parades and winning the virus lotto.
Seems like a fine time to thank KB for all his giving: I’ve met so many great people via the forum this last year, and am richer for the friendships formed.

Wow, I’m on the statistics page , even though I got a late start. Cool!
I got my first uni in mid-October, started posting a few days later, and STILL managed to make it onto Klaas’s statistics page for 2002!
Imagine what I can do in 2003, having the full year to post. But maybe people will tell me to shut up – I think the statistics point out that I’m one of the wordiest posters (see “avg message lines”). Sorry!
(shutting up now…)

That never stoped me. 
and Jagur only grows larger and more powerfull when emplored to fall silent. An interesting fact: you can put a comma at the end of Greg’s posts, and they form a single gramaticaly perfect sentance of enequaled length- the trick is in finding right the order.
When I get tapped out, and it seems as though I can post no more, I just find one of my old rants and switch out some of the verbage. Works like a charm, and can help you through those dry periods.
Post on Dave
Yes. I just finished another 12 month long dry period. You, Jagur, and I are a larger part of what is known as the “RSU desert”; a vast wasteland devoid of insight and useful information. We must continue in our efforts to provide an effective intellectual dessicant.
I would like Klaas to research a new catagory to be called the “kiss of death.” An award should be given to the member who makes the largest number of “final posts” to threads. It takes alot of perseverance to stick with a thread long enough to thrust the final lance into it when others have long ago considered it beaten to death.
had I not switched profiles I would be up ten spots…
THANKS! That means a lot to me. You are the nicest guy on RSU.
And thanks for the posting tip, too. Sometimes I make my point in only one or two sentences – and it just doesn’t feel right.

Interesting thought but I don’t think I can crank that out of the
processing software. On the forum it is clearly visible but harvesting
all those data manually is beyond my willingness.
Another thing that would be revealing is who responds to whose posts
most often. It might give insight in who is triggered (or even turned
on) by whom. I don’t know how to do it though because in the first
place the software doesn’t include such an option, and secondly even
if it did, the hierarchy in the responses that come through the forum
seems random as seen on Usenet - another way of saying that I don’t
see the logic.
