JohnO Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 While Marv has close to 12,800 posts to his name on this board, making him the undisputed King of Posts (as well as being the only one to exceed 10,000 posts so far), two contenders appear to be coming up fast - PaulieMississippi (currently in 3rd place) and Hollies65 (currently in 4th)........Paulie has been putting up 8.11 posts per day since he joined, versus Marv's career rate of 4.95 posts. If these rates continue, Paulie will catch Marv in 1123 days....or on April 7, 2012.However, Hollies65 has been posting at the heretofore unheard of rate of 9.47 posts per day...and would catch Marvin in 1016 days, or on December 22, 2011!Is this utterly useless information here, or what???

LC Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 JohnO, are you SURE you don't have time to join our fantasy baseball league? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LC Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 PS: All joking aside, good work on the posting analysis. I think you should drill deeper, though, and do a follow-up analysis on quality posts. For example, a simple "heh" might not count as much as a longer dissertation on baseball, who's who in music, why president Obama has destroyed America in just two months, or the impending carnage in the streets of our nation. Of course, that would require you to go back and read 30,000 posts, so I don't know if you're willing.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvin Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 John I really have no interest in contributing to most of the threads in the "Cartoon World" forum - the forum that seems to be taking over this site. Music discussion has become an after-thought, so given this turn of events, Steve or Paulie will soon be on top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnO Posted March 11, 2009 Author Share Posted March 11, 2009 Marv - Ditto on "Cartoon World".....unless I can contribute a useless or insipid comment there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnO Posted March 11, 2009 Author Share Posted March 11, 2009 "....why president Obama has destroyed America in just two months..."Actually, it's been 50 days, or 7 weeks and 1 day so far.. Just wondering what the reaction would have been on this board 8 years ago, had we been analyzing every breath that George W. was taking his first 50 days! Of course, GWB wasn't handed a large bucket of sh*t and told to make biscuits from it immediately back then or else....although I believe Wolfowitz, Cheney & co. were already starting their con game on him of invading Iraq as soon as possible. Then again, I guess this belongs in "Cartoon World" and not here, no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raspbernie Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 John I really have no interest in contributing to most of the threads in the "Cartoon World" forum - the forum that seems to be taking over this site. Music discussion has become an after-thought, so given this turn of events, Steve or Paulie will soon be on top. A more eloquent explanation of why I felt the new Forum category was warranted could not be made. Thanks, Marvin. First and foremost, this —IS— a music website for fans of Eric Carmen's music. Those of us who came here for the music discussion can now easily avoid the likes of "Cartoon World," if we wish. Me? I find that I only have enough free time to scan and read 15-20% of what's posted every day as it is. Your mileage may vary. I know that friendships and comaraderie are part and parcel to online Forums like the one here at EC.com, so my aim has always been to accomodate as many of you as I can, with as many different places to post whatever you feel you need to get off your chest as I can. It seems to be holding together at the moment. Whew! Sometimes I feel like that Dutch boy with his finger in the dyke! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOMMY TUNES Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 I couldn't agree more with Marvin or Bernie. I enjoy the music discussion and the hoarsing around. The politics I can do without but respect others right to enjoy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hollies65 Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 A sign of the times. I enjoy the music posts more, but it is very easy to start rolling on those political threads.I don't want to get any grief when I post lists or polls regarding music...I will refer to this thread if I get any!

blackhawkpat Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 So, if Marvin is Babe Ruth and Paulie is Hank Aaron, does that make Steve....Barry Bonds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirk Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 My focus is even narrower. I came here for Eric and Raspberries music. If it never strayed from those topics I would be happy. Other music, topics, religion and politics- in descending order- are NOT what I came here for. In fact, if it wasn't for Eric's interest in some of those other things, I wouldn't even stop in there. Not that I don't have interest in them, it's just not what I came here for. Gotta' go, I might be missing something in 'Cartoon World' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnO Posted March 11, 2009 Author Share Posted March 11, 2009 "Yuo have never nor will ever receive grief from me for posting musical lists or polls"Tommy - My guess is he's referring to me, as I've made references several times to the idiocy or stupidity of such lists....just as I confessed above in the first post here that I consider this particular thread equally useless.....yet posted it anyway.

Tony Cartmill Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 If you find the time to waste your time on fantasy baseball, then it's over.I should have included blackhawkpat's quote right above. No offense intended, OJohnO. I waste way too much time here too.But don't go gettin' all girlie-sensitive-offended on me, big guy. We have enough of those PC whiners around here already...
