I think you may find out soon.

One is overrated, and the other won't get you noticed. I forget which is which, though.

Then I think I will aim for prolific mediocrity and split the difference.

That is a good approach, IME.

Is there a way to look at my poasts beyond the most recent 1000?

The only way I know to do it is to search for your posts and note the date of your 1000th most recent post. Then search again for your posts and change the "Find posts from" field to an earlier time period to pick up earlier posts. They'll be some overlap, but I think that's the best that can be done.

well you provide neither so why does it matter.

Also, how is this not a smiley?

May I suggest that Hey Man be warned to control his temperament in Dumb Threaks - either that, or simply telling him that he is not allowed to post there.

Can we please for the love of god get a spoiler button similar to the you tube button? Something like this would work: http://forum.dvdtalk.com/10344721-post1.html

+1. His posting style is ill-suited to the format. Typical conversation:

SF Regular: [Something funny]

Hey Man: **** you *****

SF Regular: grow up

Hey Man: Just joking, don't be such a *** about it.



Full disclosure - by responding to him in the "Best GIF ever" thread, I've probably contributed a great deal to the derailment.

I'd gladly serve a one-week ban as punishment if an equally as harsh (if not harsher) penalty was doled out to Hey Man. SF less Hey Man is greater than SF less FLMM

Elegant in its simplicity.

I spent some time looking at the history of this thread and its forerunner. A lot of lint, sure, but it is fascinating in parts. The bannings and their causes. The early jostling among the moderators about transparency and the alternating first amendment right vs. reasoned decision debate. The human condition all wrapped up into a forum thread.

And I finally got the answer to my quality vs. quantity question.

I also found the Lexus affair quite entertaining.
