Awww...Barry....thanks for doing this...I mean...how *meaningful* is this?! I'm not sure what posting on FFL has to do with "enlightenment," but feel free to describe it for me/us. I can tell you miss those who post out when they/we do, what with all the focus and attention you bring to this topic again and again and again. Control is overrated in my opinion - take Share who thinks in terms of 7 a day - how important is it that she make sure the forum is blessed with her presence, and that you make sure of the same, every day all year long, year after year. I say, old chap, show us some passion, throw caution to the wind every once in awhile, show us a little spontaneity, post out just once - for the freedom, Barry (and Share), the freedom. Don't be stodgy; get creative and run with it. I will miss you and your predictability terribly; I will miss Share's insights on just about everything. Come on, now, I dare you. Share, see how far you can get past 50 (maybe even to 70 if you're fast) before Alex shuts you down. Give FFL an opportunity to miss you. :) :)

Just for fun, and because I've been trying to learn a new scripting language, I wrote a script that found posts by Alex containing the subject title "Post Count" and then scanned them for people who have been consigned one or more times to the Overposter's Bench. The results are fascinating, and to everyone's surprise, the "winner" in this Ain't Got No Self Control Contest is *not* Judy. It's the guy who claims to be enlightened. In the following list, the name of the poster is followed by the rough (I am still learning this scripting language, so the count could be a little off) number of weeks they have spent sitting on the Overposter's Bench. The grand total is revealing in terms of self control. A cumulative total of *50 weeks* have been spent by the Overposter's, sitting there twiddling their thumbs (or whatever else they twiddle), wishing that they could be here still posting away. If they had had more self-control, they would have been. There is really no other way to see it. Jim, under his many names - 7 Judy - 5 Robert/Babaji - 5 Buck - 4 maskedzebra - 3 Emily - 3 mjackson - 3 Yifuxero - 2 raunchydog - 2 Vaj - 2 Shempmcgurk - 1 off_world_beings - 1 Nablus - 1 Joe - 1 Seventhray - 1 Curtis - 1 obbajeeba - 1 Willytex - 1 Sal Sunshine - 1 sparaig - 1 danfriedman - 1 salyavin - 1 seraphita - 1
