Congratulations on holding the record for the most posts in the northern hemisphere.

I believe it's quality not quantity that matters BTW.
And that makes it somewhat subjective doesn't it.

I think that's a close race.

• I'm never gonna have another child at this point.
  So if I lose this Asterisk high score,
  that's pretty much it for me.

You may well hold those records. I have no easy way of counting my own posts. I actually signed up in 2004, using the handle 'cloudbait', to participate in the discussion about the Darwin "meteorite". I entered into occasional discussions after that, but at some point the account simply stopped working. It wasn't recognized as existing, but at the same time any attempt to create it again failed with the complaint that the account already existed. You can still find my posts in old discussions, but the 'cloudbait' member name doesn't link to any profile. So I just created a new account as 'Chris Peterson' in 2007. My actual posting statistics are split across those two accounts- one of which isn't even in the database. Ain't computers grand?

I am assuming that is due to a glitch in the records unless Chris states otherwise.
