I'm so putting this into the computer for my "in case you need an excuse to party!" daily reminder.
Congrats, mad jew! *blows party kazoo*

I think your the only person with the 604 status...
well congrats on your posting, and keep it up
Congratulations mad jew on breaking this milestone!
I'm puzzled why people feel the need to congratulate others on their post count. I can't think of anything hollower and less significant than back-slapping someone on the basis of how many times they've hit the 'reply' button.

Meaningful, yes. This isn't a slight upon MJ, just a comment that some seem to find post count a far greater signifier than it actually warrants, while others whose contributions are less prolific but more valuable are overlooked.
The squeaky wheel gets the grease.
sushi said:
But, and no disrespect to MJ here, there's no count on how many of the posts are meaningful so post count is a pretty arbritary method of valuing worth to the MR community.

You do bring up a valid point Blue Velvet- sometime those who post more in quantity are given more credit than those who post less in terms of quantity but more in terms of quality.
That said, mad jew deserves some recognition for his outstanding participation (obsession?
) here at MR. Applespider said:
Take me for example, 1 out of every 100 of my posts might be helpful.

I believe we've already had those threads. Why don't we thank some other people around here for a change instead of having this pathetic dick-measuring contest of post-count watching? There are plenty of candidates, that's for sure.
Agree.Blue Velvet said:

Reference above, just wanted to make a short meaningful answer!
BV, you do make some very valid points.
BTW, meaningful in itself is open to interpretation. What is meaningful to me may or may not be meaningful to someone else.
Blue Velvet said:
Do I sense some jealousy?
But once again, you have a point Blue Velvet there are plenty of great people on this forum that are worthy of recognition.
Blue Velvet said:
multiple times, in fact
i'm with you. post counts are a waste of attention.
in his defense, mad jew doesn't bring this stuff up himself... it's other people who feel the need to pad their own post counts who do
dmw007 said:Do I sense some jealousy?
Is that how you think my mind works?
But no, not in the slightest. I'm actually thinking of plenty of unsung heroes on this forum who sometimes don't even get a thanks from the person they've helped.
I'd be equally annoyed to see threads about me springing up, left right and centre or anyone else for that matter.
Why do people feel the need to make these things even public? To be seen to shower praise seems to be just as important as the praise itself... IMO that's what PMs are for.

Yes, let us remember that mad jew is guilty until proven innocent......err, I mean innocent until proven guilty.
Blue Velvet said:
No, I was just joking with you.
Blue Velvet said:
Sadly, this does sometimes end up the case.
Blue Velvet said:
I suppose that would be good for most of these sorts of threads. But breaking 15,000 posts is a pretty remarkable accomplishment that I think is okay to share.
I don't think we are really questioning mad jew's post count, that's a factor yes, I guess we are thanking him because he has been helpful to a lot of MR members and his post counts are an indicator of this. So thanks MJ and thanks to the other members who are helpful
and thanks to the other members who are helpful I'm just worried that if mj's post rate goes up, MR may have to invent magical future processors to name him by as he overtakes reality
However, I suppose the amount of posts the term G4 covers will have to be approaching infinity, considering how long Apple had to use it (insert obligitary grumble about Motorola).

Congrats MJ for being the 1st member to reach the land of "Nothingbetta2do"...I wish you a happy crossover and lots of virgins.

One thing to note, is that the Mad Jew himself did not start this thread nor bring up the fact that he had passed 15,000 posts.
Rather it was macEfan who started this thread with this post:

I think what's amazing is he only posted once in this thread! No replys
I think Doctor Q should calculate the average post length of MJ, then the truth will be known.
How much time can be wasted on MR, a whole lot!
