that we're getting so many new posters since the martyr's death?

I historically don't post much myself, but after 22 years I do have over 10k, so it's weird to me when I see people who signed up in 2002 but only have 50 posts.

and don't even have 7,000 posts, but I don't think it signifies anything weird,

(10,570 posts)I have a long memory, and I'm old enough to not trust anybody. And you aren't a stranger to me; I've seen you speak and react appropriately in convos for years now - it's hard to explain, but their dialogue is off, out of place, weird, in a very subtle way. My spidey sense says no when I read them, and it's a bunch of them, all of a sudden, so it's just suspicious to me.

(10,570 posts)Again, this is not what I'm talking about, what I'm talking about is someone whose join date is 2002 or 03, and they've only got 52 posts. That's a lot more than just not posting much. I joined in 03 and I've got over 10k posts because I do not comment much at all. But if you keep up at your current pace, you'll have well over 40k in posts over the same period of time.
