[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

I went upthread to early June, with the discussion about maximum thread length. Here is JohnRobinson's reply to ksen's inquiry about maximum thread length: '65,535. The largest value possible for a 2-byte integer field.'

So we have made 11,000 posts in the just under 2 1/2 months since early June. At that rate we would go over the top just at the beginning of next summer. I guess that there will be some acceleration in posting, so if we want, we could go on until the DVD for TTT is released, if we want to wait that long. I was wrong with the numbers last week. Sorry!

'65,535. The largest value possible for a 2-byte integer field.

Would you be impressed if I pointed out that 65,535 is 2 raised to the 16th power, less 1?

If not, then mine!
