Never thought I would see this day! I remember being a lurker way back when, practically obsessed with the Top 10 Conservative Idiots lists. Since then it's been crazy what has happened. Two and a half presidential terms, and I've seen everything from Obama's election and reelection, and lots of republican insanity in between - everything from Swiftboating to David Vitter to Anthony Weiner and now Donald Trump.

And let's hope at least some of the craziness we've experienced eases up a bit.

(7,318 posts)I recently reached 5000 in about the same time period. I guess I spend too much time reading on here and not enough posting.
I'll check back in another ten years for your 100,000th post Initech.

(10,500 posts)I go through phases where I post a lot, and phases where I post just a little. But I don't think I was ever posting at a rate of 100 posts per week.

(6,496 posts)and I also have a little over 3000 posts. I go through periods where I don't post. Depends on what is going on in my life.

Initech
(100,060 posts)I generally use this site as my sole news service. MSN and Yahoo have become way too riddled with advertisements and tabloid crap (and fuck those ads that disguise themselves as article... ) to even be considered as a news source. I figured one time that I maybe average about 15 posts a day. Over time that adds up to a lot.

(10,500 posts)I have put up about 3300 posts in 11 years, for an average of 300 per year, or 6 a week.
My most recent 300 posts, however, have all come very quickly. My 3000th post was on July 31. So that's 300 posts in the last three months. Or in other words, 100 a month.
It's amazing that you have been such a prolific contributor.

Congrats on this milepost, too. There will be cake.
However, the people to cake ratio will be too high.
