Top 20 CruiseMates "Posters"

[Marc]

Haven't seen this in a while so I decided to update the current list of top posters.

1 Donna 19861
2 Kuki 18702
3 rollerdonna 11899
4 LisaK 11369
5 Trip 8845
6 mehawk 8722
7 Lisa 8391
8 Luanne Russo 7935
9 Mike M 7457
10 Jim Bragg 7380
11 Thomas 7214
12 thecruisequeen 7052
13 katlady 6767
14 Kristina99 6551
15 dina 6346
16 Phyllbo 6134
17 Dave the Wave 5638
18 msblackjack 5466
19 pamda 5239
20 mteague 5037

I was thinking of posting the posting rate (i.e., posts per day of membership) but left that for a later time although thecruisequeen at 10.39 posts per day is undoubtedly the leader.

Some names thought I recognize as posters who no longer post as often or not at all. ( jim bragg) . Is there a current list for top posters for 2008?

I want to take a moment to thank the 3 word gang, the Last gang and the Speedo gang if it was not for these threads I would be a lite poster on CM.

Gangs lets keep the threads going!! For 2009 I want to up my posting to 15 per day. 8)

The scary thing is that 10,000+ of my posts were deleted in the great disaster of 2004. I accidentally deleted my own account while doing board maintenance and I had to re-register. This is why my profile states I've been a member since 2004. It was actually 1999 when I first found Cruisemates.

Take care,
Mike

[Kuki]

Donna would be 20 times higher than anyone else on that list if it only counted posts that were answering cruise questions.

She's a question answering machine!

[beentravelin]

Oh yeah. Donna is on it!

Kuki, good point! We should give double credit for "correct answers."

[earl]

Donna and CQ !!you guys are up there because you have a lot to say.

[skymaster]

WOW,,,just missed the cut...I think that's a good thing.

WoooHooo!!!!!! Way to go!

[Dave the Wave]

Who is the last to post and 3 word game shouldn't count. Well thought out and written posts with great pictures and up to date correct and informative answers to cruisers questions with no grammatical errors or spelling mistakes should count. Also good Speedos pictures should count double. 8) And hijacking people's gallery pictures to make them look silly should be a deduct.

Earl you are quite right. In fact women talk up to three times as much as men. I know some that won't let you get a word in edgewise and keep repeating themselves when they run out of intelligent things to say. Some talk just to hear themselves.

Women talk more than men, true

IT IS something one half of the population has long suspected, and the other has always vocally denied: women talk more than men.
In fact, women talk almost three times as much, uttering a staggering 20,000 words a day on average compared to men's 7000.

They speak more quickly, devote more brainpower to chit-chat and get a buzz out of hearing their own voices, a female psychiatrist suggests.

In her book, The Female Mind, Dr Luan Brizendine says the disparity is caused by differences in the male and female brain.

The sex hormone testosterone, responsible for moulding the male brain in the womb, shrinks the areas responsible for communication, emotion and memory, she claims.

The result is that men chat less than females and struggle to express their emotions to the same extent.

In contrast, women have more brain cells set aside for communication. And the act of talking triggers a flood of chemicals which gives them a rush similar to that felt by heroin addicts on a high.

Dr Brizendine, who runs a female 'mood and hormone' clinic in the US and describes herself as a feminist, said testosterone also reduces the size of the section of the brain involved in hearing, allowing men to become "deaf" to the most logical of arguments put forward by women.

Their brain power, however, is definitely superior when it comes to sex.

Dr Brizendine believes the area responsible for sexual thoughts is twice as big in male brains.

Studies have shown that, while a man will think about sex every 52 seconds, the subject crosses women's minds just once a day, said said.

Dr Brizendine, whose findings are based on her analysis of more than 1000 scientific studies, added: "There is no unisex brain. Girls arrive already wired as girls, and boys arrive already wired as boys. Their brains are what drive their impulses, values and their very reality."

Other scientists, however, are sceptical about the effects of testosterone on the brain.

Deborah Cameron, an Oxford University linguistics professor, said the amount we talk is influenced by the social environment we live in.

It sure does!, and I liked how you backed up your viewpoint with FACTS!!!

[Dave the Wave]

And 6 of those girls have been members only since 2006. The Cruise Queen since 2007 and the most talkative of all. It must be a Jersey thing.

[REDWITCH 13]

You guys are just tooooo funny.


Guys, just gotta love em, or throw stones..whichever. As long as they keep wearing those "Speedos" I will let all comments ride.



Hey girls....grin and bear it. We will get the last word....I am very sure of that. Because we are right 97% of the time.

Actually, you are not right 97% of the time, we just let you think you are because we don't care and just want you to stop talking.
