    A moderator boasting with his post count, how distasteful. :p

    not like you to leave a word out of a sentence Tal :p

    Don't worry, I got your correction right here:

    He must be drunk or ON something...

    Actually, it is all about quality v quantity.

    Rationale:
    Chev has a ridiculous number of posts, and mostly talks rubbish.
    I have a reasonably high number of posts, most of which are worthless
    But Seayer has hardly any posts but is actually on of SP's best supporters.

    Therefore, my scientific analysis concludes that there is an inverse relationship between quality and quantity.

    Um, except for Taluntain, who's every word is a gem of wisdom.

    [​IMG] Oh, c'mon Beren - your low post count only means one thing - you're a crappy moderator!

    If you were doing your job properly, your post count would be sky high by now from giving warnings for idiotic posts (like this one).

    :p

    We do that in PM. Now if THOSE counted, I'd probably be way over 20k by now.

    Edit: Not sure if they do count or not. I never actually bothered to check...

    Is it just me, or did Beren post more before he became a moderator?

    Probably not. Make that definitely not.

    :lol:

    Although you have to admit that any post dealing with Jaheira is worth existing, for that reason alone :love:

    Not all sentences require a prepositional phrase to be complete – just a subject and a verb are sufficient. :)

    /me looks at own post count, looks at registered date

    I'd have to say quality matters more than quantity :p
