Once again, that was a very interesting read. Thanks Klaas. 2004 was a
good year and I hope 2005 will be even better; in RSU as well as the
real world. If only I could spend as much time riding as I do on this
site.

Intersting...thanks Klass. I guess I failed last year's resolution to
spend less time on the internet talking about unicycles. 🙂

JC, congrats on the #1 slot. It's interesting, as there were some that
made it pretty high up the list based on only a few months of frequent,
content lean posts. In my book, you were #1 not just on numbers of
posts, but also on posting of truly usefull information. There are lots
of posters with good things to say and helpful things to contribute, but
IMHO you top the list.

Klass, it would be intersting to see a breakdown of this same list,
showing the number of threads each person started, versus the number of
threads each person finished. I bet with John Childs, we'd find that he
starts very few, but is the Final Word on many many threads.

JC: You get my nomination for the 2004 RSU MVP Award (Most Valuable
Poster). Thanks for all your help.

Quoted message said:

I don't know what it is with unicyclists... they are so creative! Just
to illustrate the point, this is an alphabetic list of all 133 (that's
one hundred and thirty three!) posters that have 'uni' in their name
(between brackets their position in the overall top-1235 of
posters):

<[email hidden]> (1007)

Klaas
it seems as though there is one oversight, the fist email you listed is
actually a mistake on my part. there was a time when i was toying around
with the Usenet interface and in the first post i made i accidentally
used my fathers usenet details. the email he had entered was a short
version of his real email (supposed to be jsmit) but the "unixg" is just
part of the server information at the University of British Columbia
(ubc) so the "uni" is just a coincidental accident. if that makes any
sense. kinda threw me off for a minute when i saw his email first on the
list.

so make that 132🙂

Can you also produce stats on how well the posts were written? Then we
could institute a Best Grammar Award ...

I was going to ask when this was coming out. Its fun to see when
everybody posts and how much. It was fun for me too because I'm on the
list this time round. #41! Thanks Klass.

big thanx to the two forumites who took it upon themselves to help me
get to have a look at Klaas's stats
JayneZA copied and emailed me the page and John Childs sent me a
mirrored link to the site that worked, providing i don't break it with a
pair of scissors while running in the house on full moon, or something
like that
:p
thank u's!

and i have to say an amazingly large THANK YOU to klaas for all his work
in getting, keeping and processing all the info required to create
something like this
i have no idea what it takes but it strikes me as a year-long commitment
and it does make for very kewl reading

klaas, please go buy yourself a beer

Fascinating reading, Klaas. I'm definitely with Tomblackwood on the
type of post John Childs makes - his final word often makes me wish I
could have said something more profound when I posted!

And I suddenly find myself with a New Year's Resolution after all - to
make it onto the top 100 posters of 2005!

Now, what to write....?

Hey, here's number 1!

i think we should decorate a Guiness Glass with that logo so John can
use it an avatar for the next year

where are the photoshoppers?

I was a Wordbender for the same good cause, see 'this thread'

I'll respond to the stats comments later.

Very interesting as ever . The fact that we now have broadband really
shows in my posting behaviour! I could even see that we got it in Feb!
Looking at the last few years I see I'm slipping down the top 100 year
on year despite posting MORE year on year, must be all these newcomers!
Well actully I'm a bit higher up the list than 2003, but that was the
year I moved house and had almost no web access for 4 months.

Hey Guild, I love the way you already have three posts just in this
thread. 😉 I was going to qoute you, but realized that is in the stats
as well.😄 I most resolve to spend less or more time on this board,
either get in the top 10 or drop off a few hundred posts. I am not sure
which is better.
