Lindsay, didn't I read somewhere here about you having a new mini wilson?

When I just had a look at todays posts there were at least 11 that had you as the last poster, thats impressive, looks like you are determined to win

oh so we are 69,800+ posts to go!

who went long?

 

[Kiwi Flyer]

or 764 posts to go?

I am not even sure where you got that number from?

 

[Kiwi Flyer]

70000 minus posts in this thread to date

 

[oz_mark]

Oh I see. I tried all manner of arithmetic calculations to figure out where that came fro, and neve even considered that option.

I dare say the chances of this thread getting there are approximately zero. Hmm, I wonder what the current record for a thread is...

 

[Kiwi Flyer]

At a guess I'd say it is this one

Yes, you're referring to this thread by Kiwi Flyer.

Had some time on my hands yesterday as it was Daddy Day (every Saturday) and whilst she was sleeping and Mrs LW was out shopping, I was free to catch up on my posting. I'm not able to post much during the week or at nights anymore, so weekends are my best chance.

Will help us get to 70K posts sooner rather than later. I doubt my few posts would make proportionately that much of a difference to the outcome.

It looks to me like there is a lot of 'post padding' going on :!:

You are probably right, I hadn't thought of that one - but should have given previous conjecture as to when it would get to 1000 posts in it. Of the 'real' ones I guess the MacBank takeover of Qantas would be up there.

 

[Kiwi Flyer]

I'd be very suprised if this thread gets remotely close to 70,000 posts

 

[Kiwi Flyer]

under 700 posts to go

 

[Kiwi Flyer]

666 posts to go

 

[Reggie]

Who said there is padding of posts going on here?

Wasn't me.

Hmm - padding of threads to manipulate the outcome seems a tad unethical - so I shall avoid it
