Sure!

Everyone loves to see his/her name in print. In an effort to nudge themselves up the list, though, maybe some folk(s) would just pen a bunch of semi-frivolous posts in order to be deemed 'most active' or what-have-you.

Doesn't matter though -- we've got a pretty diligent group of family members here, wouldn't you say? We (the regular) users tend to keep an eye on each other and know what's going on.

Besides, you're always 'watching' us anyway, for such things as cross-posting, posting emails, etc. (Cool! But where do you find the time?) I notice a fair amount of 'leeway' on your part too (tolerance) in the forum rules. (At least with me, sometimes).

I'm just rambling here, because you asked for an opinion, and I just finished installing my brand-new 80-gig H/D and wanted to see if I've configured everything properly. Seems I have. :-)

Yes. It's interesting statistic.

I'll be going on the road for 2-3 months starting this weekend, so you may not see post for a while... But I'll try and find a connection somewhere!

Keep up the excellent work, dRD.

Thanks guys, glad to hear you liked the idea. Obviously I know the possible downsides of the chart -- useless posts in order to get the name to the charts, etc. But at the level of traffic what we currently have in our forums, I think that only the guys who are really into replying to questions and posting their comments have a chance in the long run anyway. And as usual, I thank you guys -- including you two ;-) -- for making our site the "community" it is nowadays.

But I'm much more handsome than jnihil, and way smarter too, just ask anyone. I wouldn't normally be this honest and modest, but I figure, since jnihil's on the road right now and can't see this post, I'll be safe for a while anyway. :)

Nice to see that helping people can put you on top (well...5th place anyway) of a chart.

Really good idea!
