Who is the dude in 2nd place? The one with 5,100 posts?
Joined 2000 with a last post 2004. So in about 4 years posted 5,100 or 1,275 a year or about 7 posts every 2 days!
Considering how long you've been a member, I'm somewhat dismayed that you didn't recognize the user name.Quote:

A) You're talking about Parksie, who is in third place. The person in second place is Guest, I believe, a non-person, and quite possibly many different people. I don't think the Guest account (people not registered) can post anymore, though I'm not sure about that.
B) How did you manage to get a duplicate in Post Race? I never do.
C) Why did you bother deleting a duplicate in Post Race?
A). I see. I guess it wasn't that clear on my screen, or because of the high resolution and the way the rows don't line up for the second/third entries. I saw that 5100 was the second value on the right of the window, and when I looked at the left of the window, Parksie was the second name. "Guest" is apparently invisible, and I didn't note the short space allocated for that row. The question makes more sense now.
B). It technically wasn't the "regular" duplicate, as far as I know. I'm not sure exactly how I did it, but perhaps navigated backwards and ended up on a page with an earlier version of the post so just edited it to add the second link. But after posting realized that that post was a duplicate, sort of, and while the second post had the additional link, it didn't have some of the other corrections and additions to the paragraph done previously, so it was a duplicate of a previous version of the previous post with modifications.
C). It was easier to add the second link to the previous post and delete the second post, than add the earlier modifications from the first post to the second.
Leaving them both, as was, would have been a mixed sequence of events with neither being the fully intended post.
C p.s.) It was also easier to fix the issue and delete the unintended "duplicate", than to add a third post (which could have been in the spirit of thread), or explain why the two posts ended up the way they would have. I was in a somewhat somber mood, I suppose.
Yeah, I still remember when Parksie died, and I hadn't interacted with him all that much. It was still sad.
I can't see the username of the one in 2nd place. :eek2:Quote:

5,100 posts is Chenko, who is also Chenko with 41 posts putting him at 5,114.
Is there a different math used in chitchat? Or perhaps a big endian/little endian thing.Quote:

The markets have been entertaining this week.
Haven't found it entertaining, mainly just painful. The market at @ 15% loss, hope this correction stops soon or I might have to come out of retirement.
I felt it was a bit overheated going into this. Not so much, now, though. Now I think there will be a rebound, though not a big one.
Man. I am number 26 in the list. Time to boost my ranking.
I am currently at work wasting time and thought, how is my friend Shaggy doing. So I decided to stop by and say hello.
I will have to post a lot to get my ranking up a few steps... This may take some time.
Seems like it's been a while since you've been around. Where are you now, and what are you doing?
I seem to remember you contemplating moving somewhere cold.
I am back in Southern California.
