	Post Stats, what do they mean? Increase Your PM Length

I have been wondering this for a while, what do these posts stats mean????

For example:

A: 55 | D: 99 | M: 24 | HP: 35

What does the "A", "D", "M", and "HP" stand for???

Im just curious

EDIT:

Now that I have unknowingly started the new rush of guesses, I thought the least I could do was post the current summary of guesses in the first post:

Who won? It's been quite awhile, IIRC most of the guesses (including mine) were in June and July, and August (and late August at that!) was on the fringe.

I can't even find the last thread anymore, where did it go?

I think I picked the 19th (though I may be a month off), but I can't check.

I think the answer is somewhere in that thread-link above.

A short answer: it's a lame in-joke about a catch 22. And only the most intelligent and curious folk ever ask the question.

Something like this:

I think every forum page should have the descriptions of the posting stats on this.

maybe this way no one would ask.

Actually I think you won anyway. Changing your login certainly is grounds for disqualification
