I do that too...except in miles. Though it's been months since I've driven my car...

Anyways, I've noticed I now have less than 50 posts until I reach 2,000. That should be an exciting mark for me, especially since I don't tend to post as much as others. I also like to keep track of my posting average. I got excited when I hit 0.8 posts per day, though it'll be worth celebrating when I actually manage to reach 1.0.

Actually, I believe you can search for a members' posts within a certain timeframe, so if you know approximately when this post number would have occurred you might be able to find it.

I'm sitting nicely on 1.98 posts per day! Although not as much as some, still more than others I guess!

Although, most of my 1.98 posts per day are used on rubbish posts...

Well scratch that - you can search in certain forums for posts up to a year old, or for posts older than a year, but it's not going to give you the number of the post.

Dear me, my very next post is number 6,666 - should I make it evil (menacing chat skwerlz), humorous (another bumper sticker, crazy caption, or so), memorable (writing why I love the Downs), or intelligent (perhaps a great new Books topic)? Knowing me, I will forget all about it by tomorrow morning and waste it on something completely trivial.

Quick! All provoke Esty so she wastes her post! :P

Brinniel · 11-26-2008, 09:30 PM

This is my 2,000th post. Go me.

Shouldn't this go in one of those "You know you're addicted to..." threads? It's Thanksgiving and you are an American and you are celebrating your 2,000th post? That's brilliant!

What post am I on? I don't really notice or care, but the people who do get a present. Here it is:

I've read your sentence a few times. Sense not still make grammatically of speaking.
