Funny... I'm in Shanghai right now and I can get to DU but the government here blocks Wikipedia.

...

One liners shouldn't add to the post count.

7. Well, it's a post, so it should. However, post counts are vastly
overrated :)

14. Wait until you hit 1000.
Each thousand after that seems to come faster and faster.

16. How many posts do you need to start a thread?
or is that a secret?

17. It's sort of an open secret.
It keeps trolls from coming, posting the minimum amount, and then spamming the lists.

Just keep posting a bit and you'll get there. :)

22. But not too much.
After all, you're averaging 2000 posts per year. :)

Though now that I think about it I don't notice your posts as often as I used to. :(

23. I post in waves, and they must be a lot more boring these days, since
it's rare that anyone notices them :)

24. Now because you said that we'll all probably notice your
posts and start inundating you with replies. :P

25. I doubt it, but it's funny how things like that happen. Not related to
this, but as an example, I have a good friend that is from the Turks and Caicos Islands. Now, even though I've travelled all over the world for many years, before I met her, I nevere thought twice about the Turks and Caicos; now, it jumps out at me whenever they're mentioned.
