DominO123 Posted July 21, 2003 Report Share Posted July 21, 2003 1361 according to the thingy above. LOL! We don't have that many members, do we? Nope - and thank God! I would have had to close the thread! good to see you again! Hold one Vava not so fast. Theoritically there is 1103 registered members. (1361/1103) = 1,2339... My post is the 7nt one in this thread. Assuming that each individual will equaly be involved in this thread. 1,2339... * 7 = 8,64 That means, that the worst that could have had happened would be that insted of this post being the 7nt(including the thread starter post) post of the thread, it would be the 9nt one. If you were to close this thread because it were to consist of 9 posts, Nairi would roast you for that. I just don't know what I am saying... I just though I wanted to post in this thread. BTW Dan, welcome back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
