Curiosity and web enablement got me to run some analytics: Our man Seldom Seen has been a member here since August of 2012. Making a discreet assumption that he began on 8/1/12, he has been a forum member for 3 years, 7 months, and 17 days, or 1,325 days. To further slice and dice, SS has been a forum member for 31,800 hours. Now lets break this down: My latest Seldom Valuation has him at 10,498 posts. Weighted average over that timespan shows Seldom with a very impressive daily average of 7.923018867 PPD (Posts per day). THUS I believe that Seldom Seen should change his name to Often Seen. In addition, he should be revered and respected for his consistent contributions. I cant quite remember a single spat he's had over that time, which is amazing considering his rise within the forum came at the same time 'the troubles' began - that of course being the appearance of a certain story teller with rich parents from cape cod who is probably now charging 80 foot jaws on a twin fin.
I like stats. I am a research analyst. I just analyzed this comment and it doesn't sound like a weighted average as much as an average. Unless you were accounting for any variations in posts for weekdays vs weekends. Carry On.
Funny, I was just thinking the same thing about his screen name. Easily our most prolific poster. Don't feel he should change it tho. There's some irony there and I like that all the time. He does have an ongoing blood feud with HARDCORESHARTHUFFER tho. But nobody likes him anyway.
RMDN, I'm honoured. Sometimes I feel as though I say too much, but they keep me in this room all day and I think a lot. And most of the time have our virtual interwebbe home open in a window, whether it be minimised or maximised. I try to stay peaceful, and consider myself a 'man of the people', hence my efforts to keep it positive stylee. The only swellers I've really got into it with were the hunter(he actually inspired me to start posting), and to a lesser degree Michael JR and Bradsh!tted. I appreciate the data, as I've never crunched the numbers like that...maybe I'll make my middle name Often? Well, I gots to peace out, but I just wanna say I love you fockin' ne'er do wells. I was sad this morning when I though they shut us down, and relieved that they didn't. Have a great weekend fockers, do something righteous, godspeed.
Also, just for the record, I always enjoy your posts, they're witty and you do a great job all the time.
Seldom is a righteous dude... I always assumed his name referred to being seldom scene in public ..ie like charging empty surf breaks or shying away from hipster surf party/movie/ festival gatherings
I didn't know this until I opened the link. Imagine my surprise when I saw the book was illustrated by R. Crumb, one of my favorite artists. Cool beans
