Time for DanQ do do some serious spamming. I heard that posting oneliners on all topics were pretty effective...
In fact: How can we respect DanQ at all when he doesn't have more posts? As we all know, post count is directly proportional to quality of content, intelligent and size of penis.

He's an Admin... why doesn't he just edit his post count and give it 30.000 or something!

Nary have I laughed such a laugh as when I read such a line as this!

Ha ha ha ha aha!
PS. The first time I laughed such a laugh... was when somebody was talking about his version of CTP getting "stuck" on the "Hi yup , bonga bonga" song. Somebody envisioned (on a post) a computer store somewhere in the US where:
Tech 1: Aaaaugh. How do I get this @#@! thing to stop?
Computer: "Hey, yup. Bonga Bonga!"
Tech 2: Try kicking it.
Tech 3: Sounds pretty sick....
Does anybody remember who said that, and what exactly was posted?

Besides, sammyboy, DanQ has aprox. 15.5875 times as many posts as you do!!
HOWEVER
Taking your sign-up date into account, you've made ROUGHLY 2.25 posts per day. If you continued at this pace for 365 days, you would have 821.25 posts. We all know that DanQ has been on longer then 365 days, so he probably has something closer to 3 posts per day, which is not very far from 2.25.
If anyone can tell me the date of DanQ's first post (probably also the first post), then I would happily do the math.

RE: Number of posts.
It's not how many that counts.
It's how you use them. 
Anyways, what's the significance of 32 decimal points? Maybe it has something to do with an Apolyton Variant of the Uncertainty Principal.

Uncertainty Principle, in quantum mechanics, theory stating that it is impossible to specify simultaneously the position and momentum of a particle, such as an electron, with precision. Also called the indeterminacy principle, the theory further states that a more accurate determination of one quantity will result in a less precise measurement of the other, and that the product of both uncertainties is never less than Planck's constant, named after the German physicist Max Planck. Of very small magnitude, the uncertainty results from the fundamental nature of the particles being observed. In quantum mechanics, probability calculations therefore replace the exact calculations of classical mechanics.

And there we have the answer! sammyboy7's exact calculations of classical Apolyton post analysis has been eclipsed by the fact he for got about uncertainty. This uncertain value was a result of the fundamental nature of MarkG (the Apolytoner being observed).
Fortunately the MarkG particle tends to write posts that are "to the point." Had he done a similar analysis on, say, a chicken Apolyton post particle, he could have unwittingly stumbled on an entity whose very nature is - uncertain. The result would be a chicken scratch fudge factor that might have ripped a hole in the Apolyton space-time continuum.** Undoubtedly, chaos would insue and the spread of such chaotic insanity might be further exasperated by the fact that Apolyton is essentially a closed universe!
Wow, and I thought it was just a number.

Slingshot,
Tell us the truth. You actually pulled that out of the briefing papers that Microsoft's lawyers are using in their defense during the DOJ hearings, didn't you?

...Might as well continue on...
So needless to say, sammyboy7's postulate raises some interesting consequences of uncertainty. As we all know now, his calculations hinge on the Plank Distrubution, ie. Rho=8*pi*h*c/(lambda^5(exp(h*c/lambda*k*T)-1), where h is Plank's Constant, c is the speed of light, lambda is the wavelength of thought posted, and T is temperature, reflecting the brightness of thought behind the post… That's obvious.
But what is most fascinating is how we can (through sammyboy7's genius) model an Apolyton forum member's post behaviour at various momentums. By taking the approximate range of thought (approximate due to uncertainty), we find that the wave function does not break down, but centers around a narrow range of thoughts.
Even more fascinating is the fact that such a wave function can be transformed into a Function one could call an Apolytoner profile. Using a modified Laplace transform and a few correction factors, we see our wave function turn into something descriptive (Figure 1).
By comparing the posts of MarkG and DanQ, we do in fact find an effective ratio of between 4.3:1 and 4.9:1 (with uncertainty) in favour of MarkG!
But that's not all! We can also eliminate everyone's concern about the Chicken fudge factor. In fact, a similar analysis of a Chicken particle (vs. an Apolyton Moderator particle) at various momentous thoughts reveals: (Figure 2)
1. A wider superposition curve
2. A completely different wave function transformation profile!

Another "interesting fact". MING HAS 1.31042128603104212860310421286031 times as many posts as MARKG!!!! hee hee therefore, ming is the most active poster on Apolyton. unless there's someone i missed.

Actually Mao, this is a very busy time for me.
I think that our greatest fits of creativity come when we need to step back and see how silly the big picture of life can be.
Here I am, trying to shake off the day when images of Chicken wave functions are dancing in my head.
There I go, pow! Just finishing up some CAD work and I start thinking about the effects of a black hole forming from a singularity in peanut butter sandwich space-time. Imagine the even horizon! If the centre of the black hole has a floor in it, and the peanut butter sandwich is face down, it will never get sucked in!
Then sammyboy7 thinks up a crazy ratio, and I think this is a sign, signifying:
- that Apolytoners are bored
- that we have all this untaped, creative potential
- nothing
Personally, postulate #3 didn't do much for me, so here I write at midnight, because I can't sleep and because this is such a fun way to unwind! (large breath out. huuuuuuh!)
