You went to Viet Nam in '68. Just guessing, but it was probably "put down your books and pick up a gun" (highest respect to combat vets) and you were drafted at 18.

No I joined because I didn't want to be drafted.

That puts you at about 64 now. You joined the club here 30 months ago. A lucky guess might be that was around the time of your retirement. Retiring in your early 60s - maybe a government job.

No government job and I'm far from retiring. And I'll be 65 soon.
..........
Your tag gives you 74,200 posts. Over your 30 months membership, thats 2,473 posts per month or 82.4 posts per day. Thats 3.4 posts per hour round the clock.

My daily average is 138. But who's counting?

WOW, thanks for the update. In the almost 9 1/2 years that I have been here, I've never seen or heard of anybody talking about this subject before. I guess you can teach an old dog new things.

We'll have to up that from 4.7 to 5.7 per hour.

I thought more of the top 30 would weigh in on this one. Only a handful. Everyone must know each other pretty well by now. (didn't search that comment).
