hehe, you chicken, you did say you wanted to put more names, but could not put more than 10!

I simply added the (then) current top 20 posters to the Poll, to make it fair. I reckon it is only a bit of fun, and from the results, it seems you all have posted something that someone thought was worth reading!
I think everyone who posted at least once is a "best poster" anyway

Saying that Janet, you have been a bit quiet of late

Well, you know me Franck....

Watch and learn. Think I'll adopt that as my moto. But then it is the quiet ones that you have to watch, so does that make it a self-perpetuating cycle?
I guess not or no-one would be saying anything.

What's with all the little black circles that are appearing? Or am I the only one whose browser is not recognising the latest addition to the fast-growing Smilies collection?

No, actually it was this one that you used in your post. Not sure why, but for the last few days it has been appearing as a black circle in everything I viewed, incluting the Smilies palette. Seems OK this morning though. Still haven't figured out where this 'you have contributed' black dot is.

OK. To save you all the bother I have now located the missing black dot. Guess I should have posted more before now!

Anyone else think that this looks like the Revenge of the Packmen?!!

Thanks to everyone who voted for me. But in the interests of research (and staying awake!) I thought a more scientific process should be used - ie who has started the most threads, who has provoked the most responses, and who gets the most views.

Most threads:
55 Franck
52 Gus
33 DavidB
24 John S
24 Ceroc Jock
20 Gadget
16 Dreadful Scathe
15 filthycute
13 Lou
12 TheTramp


Most views:
35223 Gus
21829 Franck
11585 DavidB
8359 Ceroc Jock
8283 John S
7072 Gadget
5523 ericklondon
5441 Amanda
5299 filthycute
4821 Heather


Most replies:
1703 Gus
895 Franck
569 DavidB
372 Gadget
360 John S
307 ericklondon
299 Ceroc Jock
289 filthycute
249 Jayne
233 Lou


The scary thing about this is how many people read what Gus writes...

David,

Do these data take into account the number of posts people made in the first place?

Not that I analyse data for a job or anything....

This came from the total number of posts/views in each thread. I haven't subtracted the number of posts made by the thread starter - I counted them as part of the discussion. Besides - to get the number of posts from the thread starter in each thread, I would have to open up each thread.

I suppose a better measure would be the number of replies & views per thread started, but I was just interested in how many people take an interest in what gets written.

And for that I thank you

Seriously though, as I have rather more spare time than I would like, its been fun and intelklectualy stimulating to stir up areas of contention and see what people really think. For the most part there has been some great debate with some usefull learning points coming out.

The sage comment of the Orcale (Dave B), the surreal comments of Scath, John S and Graham, the meticulous anlysis of Messr Gadget and the zealous cpmments from Franck have furthered my understanding of dance, Music and the Scottish psyche. Even the caustic comments from CJ and Erik have been most welcome in making it a fun environment. And of course the contributions of the MAd bunch (Wendy, Heather, Sheena, Rachel, Lou, Fran, Fc etc) have alwys brought a 'different' view .. normaly pertaining to sexual deviancy

So .. may all continue .... lets have more teachers getting involved. Its been great to hear Lorna and Lisa ... but where is that mysterious Obi .........
