[QUOTE="hong, post: 336145, member: 537"] [b]Re: Re: Re: Re: How do you folks do it... I mean post so much![/b] You bring up an interesting topic. :cool: Let us consider what Crothian has achieved. One day his post count is 1,000, the next day it's 2,000 and before you know it, it's 6,000. Isn't it amazing and, perhaps, even inspirational, how he has typed so much in so little a time -- and, more to the point, caused so little offense in the process? Thus it's apparent that while sheer force of personality is ONE way to get your post count up, it can't be the ONLY way. 1 theory is that Crothian posts by not wanting to post. There is much wisdom in this apparent paradox, celebrated in Zen mysticism. By emptying your mind of the intent and desire to post, you can overcome the barriers that your conscious mind erects in your way.
