FWIW, from here (Eastern time), I get: Barry - 27 (counting the post I'm responding to) Jim - 29 New - 29 Judy - 28 (not counting this post) I'd guess the discrepancies have to do with timestamp variations between time zones. As Barry declared back on March 20: "I think that the Yahoo timestamp should be the only measure of when a post was made, since there can be delays and anyone can claim whatever they want along the lines of 'But...but...but I made that post *before* midnight...')" Which seems reasonable, except that if we're going to go by the timestamps in Rick's time zone, nobody in a different time zone will be quite sure how many posts they've made. There may also be differences between Yahoo's timestamps and ISP timestamps. If Rick's going by his ISP's timestamps (he said he was using Outlook to count posts), he might want to check on Yahoo and see if he gets the same totals.
