Hello everybody and today I must alert you of brand new, hot off the press with a hitherto unforeseen and shocking event.
In the Forum Statistics on 'How-To Geek' forums, just minutes ago it was discovered that something incredible has come to light. In the 'top posters' section, for millions of year the user 'whs' has always been at the top, but today, history was made - 'lighthouse' the new moderator has overtake him in the ratings! Currently the scores lie at: Lighthouse: 2655 and Whs: 2627

Our sources have suggested that this may have something to do with the fact that whs has been away on holiday for a couple of weeks, but while our crack team of investigators, well, investigate the problem <winks> we hope you enjoy basking in the glory of this phenomenom!

Just thought I'd let you guys know :)

You probably knew already

Blimey that was a test of my English skills

Does it really matter. The only number I care about is the number of people I could help fix their problem. And even this I don't count. One happy person is worth more than 100 posts.

I absolutely agree whs, except that Tribal Elders should always be at the top.

I like this idea of a "Geek Tribe" - gives a sense of home.

Aleeve, you did not annoy me at all. I know you are a jolly fellow. I just wanted to express my thoughts on the numbers subject and I believe Lighthouse is pretty much in sync too.
