thanks! I've been to the user list recently, but I never noticed before that it's sortable by the headers. Unless you sort, the names that appear at the top of the list don't contain much information.

Things I find interesting:
The #1 poster (MAC) has more than twice as many posts as the #2 poster (russel)

the person who has accumulated the most posts in the shortest amount of time appears to be Noel, who joined less than 4 years ago but already has as many posts as people who have been here much longer. And his posts tend to be very helpful.

considering the questionable value I add to the forum, I have wayyy too high a post count. If you subtracted all but my helpful posts, I'd have maybe one. (note to self: "SHADDUP!")

Yes and the user with the earliest registration date is of course the Forum Administrator. That person registered Wed Dec 31 1969 04:00 PM.

Well, that was nice as long as it lasted...5501 and pushing on to catch up to Mac; maybe I'll need that elevator pass to skip a few floors.

That's probably a Unix timestamp of 0, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_time

Depends if you believe Al Gore or not. Also note that his wife was a censorship nut.... add however many grains of salt you want to anything Al or Tipper said.

LOOK OUT RUS! Rharv is passing you, and no doubt about it this time it is his fault, or maybe those model planes of yours.

That is still remarkable, because the above mentioned Wikpedia article says:

Quote:

The first edition Unix Programmer's Manual dated 3 November 1971 defines the Unix time as "the time since 00:00:00, January 1, 1971, measured in sixtieths of a second"




(First paragraph in Hisotry, last senctence)

According to this the forum administrator registered some 31,536,480 seconds at the Unix timestamp -1,892,188,800. Whatever the reason for this odd time may be, the fact itself is remarkable.

Just as remarkable as the inscription on a gravestone on the cemetery at Cluain Mhic Nóise (Clonmacnoise) that I happened to see in 1996 -- but unfortunately did not photograph -- where somebody has died on the 29th of February in 1949; just remarkable.

Uh-Oh..
Rharv just edged out Russel De Mussel for the #2 spot in "number of posts"

For once it's not Rharv's fault. Its Russel's fault for not posting in a while
