I see Jim's marathon posting as being akin to a hot dog eating contest. One cannot really savor a well-turned hot dog when gobbling it down in Indiana 500 fashion. By the same token, I think the many frivolous posts Jim has to generate in order to reach the breath-taking (to some) number seriously waters down or renders un-read his many excellent observation and comments.

Just my 2¢

Y'all are behind the times. Again. For the last year or two, I post about as much in a week as I used to in a day. Sometimes even less.

Other than that, hey whatever, If the mood calls for a goof, I goof. If it calls for question, I'll ask a question. If it calls for head-on I'll do that, But the notion that I'm here to "power post" is nonsense, asi s the notion that I'd somehow be be a more regal specimen if I posted more discreetly or with more dignity.

Look - unlike some members, I didn;t come into this thing with a "brand", and I'm doing my damnedest to leave without having created one. I have no books to sell, no gigs or records to promote (not any more), no life story of legend to precede me, nothing. I'm a guy who's played some music, lived some of the music life, learned some lessons, taught a few, and oh yeah, I've gotten really good at spotting bullshit a mile away, which is why I have so much fun doing it myself.

No mystery, no secrets, nothing but some guy with a computer and with a forum generously provided that allows him to say what he wants when he wants w/o having to worry about pleasing or displeasing any damn body. Not realy looking for too much more thna a good time, in what ever form it comes by in.

Do not challenge my ability to really savor a well-turned hot dog, Albertson. You have no idea what you are getting into.

If Hot Dog is Jesus, then I am god the Father Dog.

And I will make you rue the day you slighted my relationship with my hot dogs.

You have been warmed.

Your analogy completely breaks down when you consider that no one can peruse the forum in Indy 500 fashion, nor has Jim posted in such a mindless, machine-like way.

My analogy would be to good old Babe Ruth, who cranked out home runs at a prodigious, otherwise unheard of rate. Some were hit in games that were already won or lost, some were hit in spring training and during barnstorming tours, and some were hit to win pennants and World Series.

Now, my analogy breaks down if anyone wants to celebrate Jim for the number of posts. Jim didn't aspire to be the Babe Ruth of the board, and seeks no acclamation due to his number of posts. But I think my comparison is a tad more apt than yours, Chris.

Didn't Jim actually pass 30,000 some time ago? Didn't the long time posters all lose a significant number of posts when the board crashed a few years ago?

Yeah, this is all really rather pointless.

But you know how people likes the drama, especially the anti-dramatists!

Thanks, Dan, and as long as we're talkin' Babe Ruth, a couple or 3 hot dogs sure would go nice right about now!

I didn't even think of the Ruth - Hot Dog connection.

Do you think if anyone comes along to challenge your mark, the old guard will proclaim that "Sangrey did it on hot dogs and Sexy Album Covers!"?

Hypergraphia LIVES!

:)

Hypergraphics UNITE!

....says Lon, rolling up on 20,000.

What's impressive from both of these members is the number of posts with actual thought and effort behind them.

Thanks and congratulations, JSngry.

To quote the old song (Jelly Roll and beyond) "I don't deny my name". . . .

And yes, thanks and congratulations Jim.

I've found Jim's posts over the years to be insightful, enjoyable or both. I guess the quantity of posts doesn't mean a whole lot to me, its the quality that's more meaningful.

Indeed.

The quality, insight, and humor have been the most impressive thing. Pith over volume any day!
