I never did figure out what an elephant walk is
Well a Baby Elephant Walk is one of the most earwormy of all earworms, so thanks a whole bunch for that.
Doo, doo doo-doo dee-doo dah dah DOO-doo...

and, why, look! Who's that at number fourteen? I suppose someone will be claiming there's a gang of thirteen now...
Joking, of course.

from voting being first mooted by Jesse
Um, what's that mean?
Sophia Brooks - Mar 12, 2003 2:53:27 pm PST #7297 of 10001
Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I don't understand that either Jesse. I do however, think that the reason Cindy and I have such a high word count is that we kept reposting the proposals 15 million times.
Well, and I'm wordy...

Just call me poster #7. I figured I was in the MoGo14.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

I expected to be part of it when DX first mentioned there were 14. (I was, as mentioned before, #15 by his post count.) You can ask him, he can verify it. Doesn't change that the majority of posts are by a small minority of posters. Doesn't change my feelings about that, even though I happen to know I'm a loud mouth. Also doesn't change that at least part of me stands by it, rude and impolitic as it was.
Your numbers and his don't match up, but I think he did a whole-thread count.
Edit: And you will note I have thus far refrained from calling anyone Madame Mao. So there.

Well, look, in the posts John counted, clearly there's a big dropoff after the top six posters. But a LOT of other people have weighed in as well, which I think is more important.

I love that Kat and I both had 22 posts, yet I had less than a 3rd of the wordiness. Go ecomony of words! Or possibly Kat's posts had actual content.
edited originally for line break, but since I am here - numbah!

Who are you calling a big dropoff?
