+sept1c_tank Posted November 4, 2003 Posted November 4, 2003 Why...if stats are not important, does Groundspeak list the number of posts we make, as a standard, at the bottom of each post? ==============="If it feels good...do it"================ **(the other 9 out of 10 voices in my head say: "Don't do it.")** .

+leatherman Posted November 4, 2003 Posted November 4, 2003 I think it's more than likely an InfoPop thing. Not Groundspeak. Quote
+Bloencustoms Posted November 4, 2003 Posted November 4, 2003 I thought the forums were run by infopop. It's probably there because it's part of the software, and it has nothing to do with your find count statistics.

+seneca Posted November 5, 2003 Posted November 5, 2003 That stat is there so you can tell who the smartest Geocachers are. I have always believed that if a poster here has more than 696 posts, then he/she must have a much higher than average level of intelligence. Is it fair to presume that all those who have so far posted to this thread agree with me? I have never in my life learned anything from any man who agreed with me. Quote
Jomarac5 Posted November 5, 2003 Posted November 5, 2003 As with nearly every feature of these forums, the software is fully customizable. If the number of posts field was not wanted, it would not be here. ***** Quote
+seneca Posted November 5, 2003 Posted November 5, 2003 So much for my theory. Just forget it. I have never in my life learned anything from any man who agreed with me. Quote

Jomarac5 Posted November 5, 2003 Posted November 5, 2003 I thought you were on to something since all posts before 695 were rather stupid. 697 was looking like a promising new beginning. ***** Quote

+seneca Posted November 5, 2003 Posted November 5, 2003 O.K. , new theory: 696 posts is indicative of the pinnacal of intelligence. From that point intelligence suffers an exponential rate of decay. Ooohhh I can feel it - I'm getting dumber with every post...... I have never in my life learned anything from any man who agreed with me. Quote

It looks like we're up to 699 now Be not afraid of greatness: some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them. The rest go geocaching. Quote

All stupid people live under the delusion that everyone else is stupid. No matter how stupid everything they say might be. Everyone else is stupid because they don't understand or agree with what they say. I work in a prison. You have no idea the stupid things I've heard. It could make you lose hope for humanity. Quote

That's probably why they're in prison. I hear some pretty stupid stuff where I work. I'll trade you some of my employees for some of your prisoners. Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-- I put the Jeep in 4-wheel low and left the roads behind! There's a fine line between Geocaching and mental illness, I'm just not sure which side of the line I'm on! Quote
