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

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
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?

You know, I was going to let this go, but really: Do you have a problem with someone in particular? And do you want to share who it is? Because snidely oblique comments like this really don't help any.

Huh. Apparently, I post more frequently and am more verbose with my new posting name.

Agreed. I was pleasantly surprised that 80 people had participated.

No, and it wasn't a snidely oblique comment, nor intended as one. Unless you take John's OBVIOUSLY DIRECTED AT ME comment seriously. Which I didn't.
Next time, I shall endevour to insert a :P when sticking my tongue out at someone.
