I knew you’d deliver
I don't need your snark, Hygro. I've been dealing with the worst cold I've had in a decade or more, and there are other stressful things going on.
As I said, there are things about myself that have made me wonder over the years. But I'm not about to try diagnosing myself in a CFCOT thread, and neither should anyone else.
I used to think this about me. But of the regulars here I’m closer to believing you aren’t. But I’m not convinced at all
Step 2 in the process

. But I do agree the correlation to post count is probably real. Probably a weaker correlation than signing up, unless maybe it’s to ask a specific game question.
Post count? Really? I should ask the guy at TrekBBS who has such a high count that he's over 200,000 and they're not going to add rank lounges beyond the highest already because the person who comes next is about 100,000 less. They'd be a community of two or three people for YEARS. I'm in the second-top rank and I still have less than 20,000 posts there. That's over the course of 17 years. Rank does matter there, since it allows access to a variety of hidden subforums.
On the other hand, I have 30,000+ here, and there are only 20 people with more. I'd have more than I do if my staff forum posts were included. It will be my 20th anniversary here in March.
Hmm. I had over 20k posts in my first account on the CBC.ca news site, and all of those are now inaccessible and no longer count, after everyone had to re-register when they instituted their "real names" policy. I've since accumulated over another 20k posts with my second account. It'd be more if not for their draconian moderating there; they don't even follow their own guidelines.
So does all this posting mean I have autism? I doubt that's any valid indicator. It just means that I've found a lot to say over the past 20 years.
