4. Your profile gives your actual count -

3. I feel like such a slacker.
I'm only just about to enter the 700 club. I'm such a newbie.

You rock dude. Congratulations!

5. YAY You!
No matter what you say, 17,000 is quite an accomplishment. I'm near to 2k, so maybe someday....if I can get over my irrational fear of GD flame wars! LOL!

:toast: to the man in the hat!

10. I know for a fact...
that he has left the house at least twice in the last 30 days. There's even photographic proof that he has been out in the fresh air and sunshine. :-)

Don't let 'em smack you aroud bro. I got your back.

19. There is a rumor that we were in the same location (rally for Texas 11),
but I never saw him. (Also don't know what he looks like and there were 5,000 people there so that COULD be the explanation.) Maybe that was really a cardboard cutout they used for the photos.

24. Nope...I saw the real deal
and he has WAY more personality than a cardboard cutout.

Darn shame we missed you at the rally. (You didn't get to see my tattoos.) ;-)

You've gotta come to the Will Pitt gathering so we can all meet up. It'll be fun I promise.

12. OK, Congrats...
I think...

17,000 posts at 30 seconds per post= 8,500 minutes= 141 hours of actual posting. At minimim. Could be more with the deeper posts. A lot more.

Since the time spent actually typing these posts, as opposed to reading others and general computer mousing around is probably only 10-20% of the total time on DU, that means as much as 1,400 hours spent on DU. Possibly even more. Much more.

There are 8,544 hours in a year-- and 2-3000 of them are spent sleeping, and another 2-3000 of them working by many people.

13. What's your point here?
Are you trying to imply our GOPisEvil needs to get a life? LOL!

Congratulations! I couldn't think of a better use of your time, in addition to your activism, and better people to keep company with.

David doesn't write "deep posts". That should change your estimates considerably. :-)
