Pengwin nailed it... I pretty much use this forum as an outlet whenever I'm at my desk.

I do some of my best posting while I'm listening to boring conference calls.

I know from tracking "milestones"... that some die-hard forum members have been able to throw down 1000 posts in a month, month-and-a-half timeline.

I'm pretty sure I have put out close to 3000 in this hockey season.
I remember feeling "stuck in the mud" while in the 4000s during the lockout. (if I recall).

That 10K mark is funny, because it's such an acheivement that I think a lot of people get there and it is their "wall". Boom, crash.

Also - there are phases in our life where we have a little better access to posting/computer time.
From what I've read about Shoe... he's way out in Cambodia or somewhere and I'm guessing he isn't sitting in front of a computer all day, but perhaps has a dedicated hour or two with a computer every so often.

The desk jockeys (like myself & Blayze) use this as our "break" from our work day... so I think you'll see both of us up around 15,000 in a couple years.

But Shoeless' post count is epic.
I always say it is "Gretzky-like".

Gretzky finished with, what... high 2000s in points... and the next highest guy is maybe high 1000s, I think.

Kind of similar to Shoeless being mid 20,000s in posts... with the next highest guy being mid 10,000s in posts.

It's incredible... for sure.

There is absolutely a wall. I hit it after every thousand posts.

Look out md, you've got another wall coming up! Maybe you can swerve in time and miss this one

I think I've pre-emptively hit the wall. It's too hard to keep up with all the posting that goes on here during the playoffs when I can't log on at work and don't get off until 8 eastern.

To make Shoeless' accomplishments even more amazing, consider this... His mountain hut in Cambodia is powered by two dozen mice in a wheel-like generator. This is why his posting has slowed down but he still gets 3-4 posts per day. He would do more but his mice provides power to the village.

I believe Darren Pang was scouted at one of these generators.
