1. Vit, hopefully those numbers are proportionally represented in Kate’s tip jar.

2. Vitruvius:
   I’m hoping you don’t figure out a way to calculate the amount of forfetied income/productivity!
   Heh, how about a contest for most frequent poster who ALSO has the shortest average post!
   Will there be SWEEPS and if so, some kinda heads up?

3. Have to leave a note to see if I can get on the next list. And let me know when the Tee Shirts are ready. I take a large.

4. …whohooo! I made the list!
   Oh dang, now this post will screw up my ranking…

5. Vitruvius:
   I really wasn’t expecting much of a response. I had surmised as much but simply put that predictive point in there as a teaser – you probably noticed the little similey I added.
   Now, on a more serious note and if you are taking suggestions (er, requirements) seriously, your mods for v2.0 make sense – but you might want to consider using the median rather than the mean. As the number of posts approaches infinity or if a poster always posts a similar size contribution these will be the same. However, for most of us, the median more accurately reflects what I think you are looking for.
   Anyway, thanks for the response and looking forward to V2.0.

6. similey –> smiley

7. I was thinking that too, Brent. I’ll check out
   median & mean, and see what looks interesting.

8. I didn’t make the list either. Too much lurking, not enough commenting. Anyway, if the Liberano’s get “back to Power, as soon as possible,” as their esteemed leader stated at their convention, guess who the first 100 people audited by Revenue
   Canada will be???

9. Kate; Since I didn’t make the list can you make me a “Lurker” T shirt?

10. Oy. Well, I captured my bookmarked pages as I mentioned above. The format of Kate’s pages changed in late May, 2006, and I have not yet written code to scrape before that, so the following data is since 2006-05-29. Since then I have participated in commenting on 454 articles, posting 1,407 comments, of 1.3 MB total length. I’ve written 1.3 MB here in under two years ~ I wouldn’t have believed it. According to Print Preview, that’s 320 pages. And if I include the 681 comments that reference some version of Vitruvius, totaling 665 kB, that’s 488 printed pages all in.
    Wow. And I’m only 12’th on the list. I think I’ll print those 488 pages to a PDF on a CD and take it to Office Depot for a hard copy. It’s under fifty bucks. Maybe somebody will appreciate it in 100 years if the digital archives are no longer available.
    Because as George Bernard Shaw once sagely noted:
    I often quote myself. It adds spice to my conversation.
