(34,119 posts)99. Not really
Only one falls off that day. The rest fall off one by one as each one hits 90 days. Now if he doesn't mind another month of silence, there are two today, and 20 or so more today would all fall off along with those two. But he would have to be willing to endure another 25-ish days of silence...

I think you are on to something there. Problem is, you are allowed to read the entire thread/OP/etc.
