FYI, this is what the Python script uses:
X-Yahoo-Profile: punditster
That stays the same regardless of what email account, web mail or if you
use the web site. I haven't had time to see if there was a way to parse
that in PHP which is what the script Alex runs uses and if I did Alex
probably wouldn't want to mess with it anyway. These days the post count
is superfluous.

What a refreshing reply - I thought I was trying to converse with just
lurkers for awhile. Go figure.
But, you'll have to excuse me for not getting around to replying to
each and every posted comment here - with four grand kids running
around, we keep pretty busy these days!
About the Post Count:
It's not complicated, at least it wasn't until Yahoo Neo came along.
That's when I switched to using Thunderbird to read and reply to
messages. With Thunderbird, I can specify what name appears on my
posts, like 'Richard J. Williams', or whatever, as the sender. What's
great about Thunderbird is that it's an email reader and a discussion
group reader. None of those messy, distracting advertisements,
gadgets, and pop-ups - it's more for professionals. LoL!
Did I mention that Thunderbird is free?
At other times, I use Google Mail to post to the group because I like
the feature where you can include an image in the post by referencing
an inline image url for the image. When I do that, what shows up is my
my email address - [email protected]. and the images can come from
my web site. Go figure.
So, for the record, my name is Richard J. Williams and my Google email
address is [email protected].
You can send an email reply, or leave a message for me on this
bulletin board, or you can call my cell. Do not call my previous place
of employ. LoL!
Or, if you're ever at the Starbucks near Hot Wells, look for the guy
in the black T-shirt with the laptop, the guy with a big grin on his
face.
Otherwise, you can be leaving a message for me with Rita at Whole
Foods - I'll get back to you.
P.S. Anyone who is interested in using Thunderbird should key in the
following text, exactly, in the Send To text box (substituting your
own name or handle):
"Richard J. Williams" <[email protected]>

If you mean your query: "So I'm wondering why only sharelong got your
knickers in such a twist since both Richard's and Ann's names also
appear twice on the post count list", the answer is the trivial one
that as I haven't been religiously reading through those post count
messages your duplication just happened to be the first (and so only)
one I'd noticed.
I see my first suggestion that someone could increase their allowance
by posting from different platforms wouldn't work as the FFL
snitchers would be on the case pronto.

So when there was a weekly post limit anyone could double their
allowance by posting via email half the time and the rest of the time
from the website? Curiouser and curiouser . . .

Seraphita, there are a few posters who appear on the count list more

because yahoo suddenly became even wackier than before!
