Actually I did surpass madjew, I must have had a brain fart. In any case, my point remains. People here who post a lot certainly can have lives outside of MR. I'm almost never online at certain times of the day and I'm all but absent on the weekends.

You yourself have almost 20,000 posts (210 shy of the 20k mark), so I think you probably have a good feel of what it takes to post here.

There's a world outside of MacRumors?

Where is it?
 
I think your just making it up. Next thing you'll be saying coffee tastes better than tea! :D

Yes, to my very jaundiced taste buds, coffee tastes better than tea, I prefer 'Foyle's War' to 'Pearl Harbour' - and Monty Python makes me laugh more - and longer and louder - than Woody Allen ever did.

Clearly, I live in some sort of alternative universe…..at least some of the time. The rest of the time, - while I do drop by to pay a flying visit or two to MR - I think that some of my most fruitful relationships do, indeed, take place in another world…….

But, sometimes, it is simply a matter of perspective.

I recall, over a decade ago, sitting in a modern classroom, waiting for the rest of my students (a class I really liked, - they were terrific kids) in the antique place of learning where I was employed at the time to teach modern European history, - actually Russian and Soviet history - and passing the time chatting to those who had turned up early, when one of them fished out a book by Terry Prachett from her bag. A discussion inevitably ensued, - well, I love Terry Prachett, too, - as the others slowly trailed into the room.

I confessed that Granny Weatherwax was (and is) one of my favourite female characters from all of written fiction, and confided to my students that when I finally grew up, this is who I really wanted to be. Suffice to say, we had a great class that day. I seem to recall that we somehow covered Stalin, too…..

Not one of the top posters here, nor likely will ever be, but definitely I cannot allow a day to go by without checking in on MR at least once or twice if not more than that! MR has been part of my life since the day back in the fall of 2005 I did a Google search to find out more about the Mac, found this site, started reading and learning -- then eventually joined to ask a question or two, which, yep, sooner rather than later led to my buying my first Mac, and well -- I daresay I haven't stopped hanging out here since! :)
 
Looking at user join dates makes me feel old. Can'r believe I've been here almost 10 years!
Almost a decade and you still haven't gotten to Duke! ;)

The nicknames that members picked so long ago are immortalized in their posts and these charts. It's possible, on request, to change your forum username, but then your online friends don't recognize you! Just in case, I check to see if any members in my tracking data have changed status or username before I do my number-crunching each time.
