You made it!

[IndyJeff]

The above post was made in attempt to pad his post totals to reach 10,000 by the end of next month!!!

Next Month?

Dude.. were getting three feet of snow... I'll be at 10K by Sunday Night :mrgreen:

Good God, 5,000/10,000!

CDS, 3 feet of snow, stay warm and safe. Should be pretty in the morning though.

[Scottes]

Yep, catching Belomondo was easy. :-)

Now I have to catch Marie and CDS.... Geez, wish me luck....

Yeah, let's see a new signature, "Marie's going down."
Not so cocky anymore, are you? :lol:

Now go shovel your driveway. :p

ROFLMAO!! Tom, you kill me.

Besides, I like my current sig. It has the words "chocolate" and "poutine" in it, so it's got to be good, and it's a quote from you. I chuckle every time I see one of my posts.

Besides, I still have to catch you, and pass you. That could still take a week, or even two if you go on a "Nice Shot!" posting binge.


As to shoveling the driveway... This isn't going to happen. I can't get out the back door since the snow has drifted up to the door's window. I can't see my neighbor's house right now through the snow. I can see what must be 5' drifts and the news says 21" so far and it still has 7-8 hours to go.

[PacAce]

Err, Scott. I hate to tell you this but 5093 is still greater than 5017. You haven't caught up with Tom, yet. He may be a big target :wink: but he's a moving target! :D

Tom, better hustle. There's a wolf on your tail. :mrgreen:

[Scottes]

Yep, I'm well aware...

[PacAce]

Oh, I see you corrected yourself there. Good. :confused:

:mrgreen: :lol: :wink:

[Belmondo]

I think Scott's achievement is noteworthy in a number of areas, especially when compared with the three people who are currently ahead of him in post count.

He has done it:

1. Without use of the Sanskrit keyboard.
2. Without liberal application of smiley faces.
3. Without mind-numbing stories of life in the desert.

He has maintained generally high standards of grammar, vocabulary, and typing accuracy. He is witty, articulate, and helpful.

In general, he's a total pain in the [***TEXT DELETED BY MODERATOR***]

[Tom W]

Say, just how does one get into this posting race anyway?
Can I transfer posts in from other places?

I'm going to stop posting now, before I manage to screw up this reputation. It's the only good reputation I have, so I should keep it that way.


















Nah.

[Tom W]

I see 6000 by nightfall! :)

[PacAce]

That's assuming he makes it back alive from shovelling himself out of the driveway. :mrgreen:

[Scottes]

Warming up a little. Couldn't wear gloves to fix the snowblower.

5030...

5030 what?

5105....

[IndyJeff]

Oh you guys!



855

[Tom W]

5105....

T-minus 75 and counting. :D

Just track all their posts. It's a very sad affair. And all of us hear have been enduring it for months and months.















;) j/k of course...

[Tom W]

Come to think of it, Jim, you're within range.... ;)

[Scottes]

Come to think of it, Jim, you're within range....

Not with his attitude. I bribed a mederator to start deleting his posts. He'll never see 4,000.
:-)

Which reminds me:

The check hasn't arrive yet. Do we still have a deal?

[Scottes]

Geez, I told you it was in the mail. We have a bit of a storm here, yah know.

Step on it - he's 13 away!

[defordphoto]

Come to think of it, Jim, you're within range.... ;)

:) Yeah well, you can have it. I don't play "who has the most posts", sorry...

[Tom W]

Well it ain't no fun if you're not going to play! :)

[CyberDyneSystems]

Sure it is,.. You, me Ralph, Potsy and Ritchie can still have fun.. even if "The Fonze" has cooler things to do... ;)

[cmM]

You know Scottes, since your post count rival has "moderator powers", I'm sure he has access to some numbers somewhere...... u sure it's a clean race? :-P

It that was possible, I'd have more posts than Marie. CDS and I would be in a dead heat.

[Scottes]

I've been convinced for some time that Tom randomly deletes my posts. I mean, I write something, and move on. I come back later and my post isn't there.

It's highly unlikely that I'd do something stupid like forget to hit the "Submit" button....
:wink:

Constantly.
:wink: :wink:

I am so pleased to hear I'm not the only one suffering from the occasional brain fart. I have a habit of previewing many of my messages before I post them. Somehow, I often manage to forget to hit submit after I do that.

[Scottes]

I'm truly amazed by my constant ability to do this. Some days I do it 2 or 3 times.

Heck, for all I know it could be 6 or 7 times a day.


(In fact, I typed the above 2 hours ago, but just now got back to hit Submit...)

[Longwatcher]

What I find fascinating about your race for top poster, is so far I have been on the forum longer then anybody else posted in this thread and I am just trying to get to 1000 so I can become a senior member. Maybe I take too many pictures. I should obviously stop that and post more often on the forum. 8)

But even after all this time, I just know that I am really glad I am not a moderator, that would be way too much work.

You all keep on posting away.

BTW: I would like to thank Pekka for hosting the venue, without which it would not be possible for this exciting and obviously important race. :) :) :D

I detect a note of sarcasm.

They laughed at Columbus, too.

Whatever that means. :p :-|

[Longwatcher]

I will have you know I was completely sincere in my thanks to Pekka. 8) :D 8)

If I get a dollar for every post I make.........

........I'll be a proud owner of a 20D by now...............(or a really used 1D) !!!

If I get a dollar for every post I make.........

If I had a dollar for every post I made I'd have a new 500mm f/4.

If I had a dollar for every useful post I made I'd have a new lens cap.

Just informing y'all that the net delta on the Belmondo-Scottes differential scale is -73 at this time. ;)
