Prednisone? That's pretty serious stuff. My wife complained I was really "bitchy" when I was on that a couple of years ago. Had pneumonia.
Do they serve bar food?
I think that's clear. I don't think posts here should be counted. I argued against this kind of thing when I was on the staff way back when. In fact, I didn't post much in here for some while for that reason. The site now has such a chat-focus that it seems pointless to protest. (That isn't a criticism--a community has formed, and that's a good thing.) I do think there's a fair amount of post-count-upping going on, and I think that people posting to post, or to garner more reputation, is unfortunate. But, there was a chat room here for a while, and as mentioned it serves a community-building purpose that is quite valuable, as with studies that show that employees who go out to lunch/dinner/bars together outside of work tend to do better at work. I think if these posts didn't count you'd see rather fewer of them...but is that for better, or for worse?
Of course, as the #1 poster here (about to be surpassed by Bob Hubbard), perhaps I'm biased!
Seriously, how do you tell the number of posts a person has within a given thread? Wheer do you look for that?
You click on the number in the thread menu.
Arnisdor under reply click on the number it will bring up everyone total here on this thread
I agree weather they count or not I would ve posting here we have some great converstation and you really get to know people here
Indiana University? I just drove by it Friday night on my way to a seminar. I'm near ISU.
That's a good point. The site has gradually shifted from a place limited to martial arts technical talk to a community of martial artists (as Inernet groups alwasy do).
We won't hold that against you arni!
But really ....
Isn't the person with the highest post count really seen as the person with lots to *say*? And that could be interpreted as a good thing or a bad thing. Just like the person with the most reputation could really be seen as the person with the most popular things to *say*. Which could also be interpreted as a good or bad thing.
How about this, Math Master? That the numbers don't always mean what we think they mean? When threads get moved, it alters post count. And why is it really that important to have a high post count anyway? Or lotsa rep? It's not.
I think the point *is* what you wrote about community. If I wanna argue with someone about martial arts I don't need to travel very far. In fact, I could walk right across the street. If I want to say something I think is important regarding self-defense, I'll likely say it at a self-defense seminar. What do we need to be here for anyway?
To build community and comradrie ... that, or argue numbers. :angel:
Have pity on us, Oh Great Arnisador ... not all of us have "bump"ed our way to greatness. :lol2:
