Oh, but if you think about it... you can possibly alter the outcome of that contest... for example if you reply to El BSS "Jimbo" threads with a stimulating response... he will answer...  so people might try to manipulate the outcome... If stumpy were to reply to him on in the rendevous section with some luring remarks that could easily bring about 2-3 post quickly... ;D ;D

Whereas The BHW "db" usually answers in batches when he has time and something grabs his interest...  many times late at night...  Although the late night thing gives him the edge on availabilty to write...  many like me have to do this as time allows at the job place...  

My Prediction is... the first to break the 1000 post mark will be The honorable "El BSS Jimbo"  And I am saying June 1 somewhere around 8:15 in the morning...

The "BHW db" is a little harder to predict... I am guessing he will celebrate the new moon in July on the 6th with his 1000th post...
