Wow. Hard to believe that this is the largest single collection of my works and thoughts. (Anyone know an easy way to pull an archive copy of all my posts?)
Think about it, how many forums are worth 50,000 posts?
No other ones in my estimation!
Thanks to Jim for building this virtual house, and turning it into a home for so many of us.
I'd also like to thank everyone who has invited me into their studies, offices, living rooms, bedrooms, and cubicles. You are all people I would like to meet some day, those of you who have agreed with me, and especially those who have disagreed with me.
The civil discourse, reasoned responses, Richter scale sarcasm, humor, and irony available on FreeRepublic is without peer. I feel like I've gotten a college level education in darn near everything!
There is always a FReeper somewhere who knows the inside scoop on anything, and is willing to share what they can about any given topic. It is so refreshing to be pulled up short on an incorrect concept by someone who actually has experience, not just book larnin', and can explain the facts of the matter in a clear, concise, and (usually) respectful manner.
You are all responsible for major changes in my understanding of, and attitudes towards, much of what I see in the world. It hasn't always been smooth transitions, and the road has been awfully bumpy in places, but it as always been worth the trip. Not a bad journey for a fat old fart...
You've posted a total of 157 threads and 20,652 replies.
But I had to change my screen name due to a request by JimRob. I'm FReeper-formerly-known-as... MadAsHell. There apparently is a Mad-As-Hell and the names were just too close for comfort for the Robinsons' software to handle ;-).
So I probably lost those posting stats when I changed screen names a few years back.
An "All Val, All The Time" 'blog would take up even more of my time. ;')
BTW, 50,000 posts. Hmmmm.... Not sure if you're to be congratulated or taken involuntarily into the Twelve-Step-Program-for-Addicted-FReepers! ;-)
Still a newb here: 17 threads and 8,818 replies
One year and about 6 weeks later, after 7 years of lurking daily!
We won't even go into the number of comments I have posted, but perish the thought about your sign on date. IIRC, keeping track of posts only started in the spring of 2000.
Wow. You have got to be the all-time leader in the category Free Republic R/T ratio, with a score of 31,630.
I thought my R/T ratio of 379 (1,137/3) was pretty high until I saw yours.
You lurked for seven years????
My head would have 'sploded!
(16 threads and 2,819 replies)
I would guess that JohnHuang2's ratio is the complete opposite of that.
Come to the dark side...
See? It did!
You could be right. It would be interesting to know who are the leaders in T/R. I'd guess Mia T would pretty high on that list.
ewww ewwwwww ewwwwww!
LOL
Maybe in those 50,000 posts is material for a book, or certainly the energy and gift-of-gab to write one.
50,000 isn't bad at all! I have thousands more, but Mo1 beats me and someone else I know beats Mo1. :)
Perhaps, but I know of no convenient way to extract it, let alone search for keywords, etc.
I only have a slight addiction to FR ;0)

What would we FReepers do without Nully to pick on? I hope you're doing well, FRiend! ;)
