Where else to be gratuitous? Especially in a gratuity-ness thread.

I am not posting gratuitously. I am posting with a purpose. PWP. Yup. Gotta keep ahead of Uly.

Hasn't been around since June 8, 2001....

His 1854 posts in just 4 months on the Bored still stands as an impressive feat, even for the day.... not to mention the fact that he singlehandedly extended the life of the QoD by a couple years and what he did for the popularity of Google-PAFing. Nobody got more bang for the buck out of their short time on the Bored than rl30....

A little more than 400/month? Piffle.

At that rate he would only have had about 4600 after 10 months.

I calculate that 2801 on the Raspberry bored will be significant for me. I know I'm still a few days away from getting there, but will you please let me know the real number.

Add 7 to that....
