cricket Posted January 4, 2005 Author Share Posted January 4, 2005 Well, my friends, Nico was the person who posted the 150,000th post. Nan had the right person, but the wrong date. On an interesting note, here's what NeilD had to say about it in post #149100..."I just hate to blow everyone out of the water, but the answer to the question is ME!.....And, indeed, the actual post that Nico wrote was simply this word, "Me". You can find this in the Word Association thread. Stan, dole out the points. I think Nan deserves the 651 with a 451 point deduction for getting the date wrong. Add this to her current status for having to post 200 topics and I think she's a few to the good. Way to go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually my assignment was 200 quizzes so your idea is a good one.

Nicodema Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 It was a total fluke actually. I had so much to do today I was certain, when I logged on this morning and saw the count still a good 30 or so away, that someone else would nab it while I was out and about. I happened to stop by for a quick visit just before leaving for my pdoc appointment this afternoon, noticed we were like 3 away, and tucked in. It was hard going, too, because the server was running slower than Molasses uphill in a Minnesota winter. But yes, tenacity won the day. I'd actually been hoping that God would be the word to hit the magic number. After that I figured well OK, Satan will do the trick. I figured others were posting as well, because my browser just kept HANGING and HANGING ... Quote "After such knowledge, what forgiveness?" -- T.S.

Guest Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 OK...someone out there can post one of those cartoons where there is a women sitting in front of a computer in a frantic mode about to have an anxiety attack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cricket Posted January 5, 2005 Author Share Posted January 5, 2005 It wouldn't be me. That wouldn't be very nice in my opinion. I was on-line at the same time and it was very frustrating to have the server be so slow. I was trying to countdown and it wouldn't work. I got a 6, then a 4 then a -2. It was truly frustrating. Nico, I hear you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, Ok, ok....It wasn't me...Truth be known, I was out of town and unable to get to a computer....But now I am back ...and I would have voted to Nico anyway if I had been out of town...which I was....and I didn't get that 150000 mark....So, now I am looking for the consilation prize.....sympathy...

Moderators LynnDel Posted January 6, 2005 Moderators Share Posted January 6, 2005 I don't think anyone nailed the date, but who was closest? I'm thinking maybe I'm in line for some points (ahem) - and where is that thread where we made our predictions? LD Quote LD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fran Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 I'm proud of you Nico for watching and winning. I knew the race was on and got it to 149951 then stopped to watch who would race to the finish! I was going to get it closer, but that Bravus made me stop. I was being to “wordy”. He was !
