DSL posts count
Just for a laugh I thought I would pass a lot of time and try to catch up with the DSL post count. My starting point is a modest 1300 or so. DSL has well over 70000 posts so a steep challenge. Then I did the maths and reasoned I could make 10 posts a day but that is 1.7 post less than Del’s per day current rate so, just like a Galaxy, he is forever expanding away from my hopes! Anyhow, the bottom line is if Del stopped posting today it would take me 134 years to catch up! So, my decision is, at this festive time of year, to abandon my plans and raise a glass to Del The Digital Scribbler.
Well done.

Some say it’s about quality not quantity Its not the height of the fall but the sudden stop at the bottom that hurts!!

Hang on! I’ve just checked my maths and its nowhere near 134 years but about 19 years to catch Del up.
However, as I’m 70 yrs old I have a receding life to live - but the toast goes ahead!6 LRs last one 2009 HSE D3.

You do realise he uses the "infinite monkey" approach to posts, don't you?
Post enough times and something will make sense just through simple probability! Visiting from rrsport.co.uk

Well, BN has posted proximity 6400 posts since 2005 but maybe all of those were in one year - which I doubt. DSL has way over 70,000 post since 2006 which is around 4500 on average per year in his case. So BN, on average, must have made two thirds of all his posts in one year. Maybe……6 LRs last one 2009 HSE D3.

Define frequently. However since we’re off again in just over 2 weeks I somehow think I might fall in that definition.
