4. Ah, but we declare winners the LW way...
...they don't keep track of who posts the 20 millionth...by the time you see 20 million on the board, two or three dozen people will have posted at the same time.

No, here we can all declare ourselves winners: 20 million LW posts supporting LW politicians and LW policies.

Hard to beat -that- for a prize :-)

But thanks for the pin, better than the "pony" Skinner was giving away recently ;-)

41. Check threads for posts at the time I captured...
Edited on Wed Dec-14-05 08:37 PM by Robert Cooper
...My previous reload showed 19,999,999 and I reloaded again as soon as I saw it. The time stamp couldn't be more than five seconds off the actual time of the 20,000,000th post.

'Course, that's a lot of threads to check ;-)

All I know is it wasn't me 'cause I was reloading at the time .
