Mar 2014

will make it 13,028. Apparently I have averaged just a bit over 100 posts a month over the past 3 months, which means about 3+ posts per day (again, on average). To me that seems like a lot of time on DU each day, since I read many posts before I ever see one I feel moved to reply to, especially when reading on a 7-inch tablet rather than a desktop, which is how I do most net surfing these days. (Because posting on a tablet is very awkward for me.)

I think maybe some people have more free time, or maybe posting on discussion boards is their hobby. I spend a LOT of time on *my* hobby (reading--books, articles, online material, etc.), and if that amount of time were spent posting here intead, I could rack up some epic numbers within a very short time.
