Post count matters...

Most of us with high posts counts also suffer from ADD
While you can talk on the phone, code, watch TV and answer emails and ICQs at the same time, I can post, answer emails, ICQ, do homework and take the dogs out all at the same time

And 8 hours? Who do you know in this biz who spends just 8 hours in the internet??!!

If you're really good with slinging the BS, you might even score a job with a sponsor. At that point, you're pure gold, especially if you can get the sponsor to send you to the show and let you expense buying other people's drinks, dinner and dances at the titty bar. Dont worry if you dont have any credit, in many cases the boss will let you borrow his. Heck, use it to take your girlfriend out and buy her some stuff while you're at it.

Well, if you use your debit card and it hits at the same time as your cell bill, you get your cell phone cut off at a show. Using your boss's CC is your only other option!

My personal favorites are the board announcements that some people make that they now reached their 1,000, 5,000, or 10,000th post or more. It's ok if these people have a balance of intelligent posts versus BS posts, but many people just come across as babbling idiots. It's good for sig exposure, branding, and increasing board stats, but are these people really taken seriously? That would depend on the skill some people have with branding. Are they leaving a positive impression, someone you would consider doing business with, or do they just appear as attention whores without a clue?

LOL I am rapidly approaching my 1,000th post here at Oprano! It has ONLY taken me three years to get it (work always has a way of creeping in and preventing me from posting) so when I hit that number.. it'll be the first board I ever hit it on... hell yeah I am gonna announce my ass off LOL

I don't have the time to post on all the boards either so I just fit it in where I can! Hopefully my posts are meaningful enough that the appropriate messages get across to my industry associates.

Man - I guess I should stop working on projects and type up a few thousand worthless posts so people think I'm "somebody".

The downside of that is anyone who'd be impressed by my post count - isn't someone I'd want to impress but what do I know... according to my post count, I'm new and don't know nutten'!

LOL! Well that's understandable if it took you 3 years to reach it. LOL! That's something to be proud of! Maybe Gonzo will stick the post for you.
