It's just a summary page, dude.

Now there's a trip down memory lane. Much the same stuff we see today: ride
reports, plans for the GP, bitching about speed cams, bikes for sale, bikes
for repair, dickhead cagers, immature, repetitive banter, and Zebee's
fleet. Quite a different crowd though.

Yeah, but what an elite group of "All time top posters":

10348
8240
8031
6187
5191
4126
4097
4030
4019
3846

(kind of sad, now I think about it)

Somehow I doubt that I'd be in the 'all-time top ten'. I'm a newbie (and
not that sad).

 

Jesus I didn't realise I talked that much crap

JL
(mental note too much ausmoto not enough riding)

 

Oh we all knew!
Clem
(cursing that clem@australiamail became a "pay" email and I had to change
to knobdoodle... otherwise I'd be THIRD!!)

 

Yeah thanks Clem, **** you very much !

JL
bastard !

 

Propogation was really stuffed back then, considering the number of
94,95 posts. It shows my first on 25/04/1995. I know I was posting
before that.

Doesn't take into account those of us who have had many email ids!

NOt propagation, but archving.

Dejanews didn't start archiving usenet till what, 1998? So anything
before then is taken from tapes people loaned them.

Don't be so modest,Coney--you're easily *that* sad.

Postman Pat

 

Ahh! I stand corrected. I wonder if I still have some
calvados.apana.org.au backups hanging around ...

A quick search seems to indicate 2110 posts from me... guess that means I'm
only just a bit more than half as crappy as JL ;-)

Zebee is correct though, the figures ignore the real picture from much
before 98, and I know I was posting when I had the grey market GTR1000
(concours), and I had that in '95.

I can give lessons if you like

JL

 

wow... you mean that with hard work and lots of study I can...

errmm hard work and study...

ummm pass

G-S

 

You'd rather hand out the requirement to do so than self inflict it ?

I hope you're handing out some Cr and Dn's with those passes
JL

 

And you wouldn't eh *disbelieving look*

That would be generous!

I'm a manager, "do as I say, not as I do" is my motto

Bloody glad I don't have you marking my exams then !

JL
(Particularly given I don't think I'm doing the sort of subjects you're
currently marking
