... that since opening its doors, this group's seen over 240k posts,
and that, with just shy of 20k posts of her own, Webado accounts for
almost 8% of the total posting volume?

That is one hell of a dedicated approach to this place.

Outstanding show. Well done! :-D

Yes it is and the influence extends beyond the 20,000. How many people
who were helped in those posts have passed on to others what they
learned. Within the forum itself, how many regular posters were
initially helped and encouraged by Christina.

Without her contribution and her willingless, I wonder where this
forum would be. Perhaps this calls for something special from
Google:)

Webadoo has written more than the Bible and the complete trilogy of
Lord of the Rings !!!!

How did I come up with that?

20,000 posts at an average of 10 lines per post equates to 200,000
lines of text. In this forum the average line is on average 10 words.
Therefore based on these (conservative) averages Webadoo has written
over 2,000,000 words (with at least 3% spelt correctly:-) )

To put that into context there are 593,493 words in the Old Testament
and 181,253 in the New Testament giving 774,746 words.
The complete Trilogy of Lord of the Rings has only 561,792
As for Harry potter=
Philosopher's Stone- 76,944 words
Chamber of Secrets - 85,141 words
Prisoner of Azkaban - 107,253 words
Goblet of Fire - 190,637 words
Order of the Phoenix - 257,045 words
Half-Blood Prince - 168,923 words
Deathly Hallows - 204,796 words

Webadoo has therefore written not only the entire bible on Google
indexing but has followed it up with an epic trilogy and almost the
entire series of Harry Potter on top of that.

If webadoo had embarked on a course of writing for herself its
possible she would be 3 times richer than J. K. Rowling.
J.K.Rowling is worth £600 million.
Therefore I and the other 20,000 owe Webadoo £1,800,000,000.

If webadoo had only charged $50 per advice it would have earned her
over a million dollars (20,000 x 50)

Few would argue that in the past decade the biggest influence on the
distribution of global information and knowledge has been Google.
At least 20,000 sites indexed in Google have in part succeeded to some
extent as a result of Webadoos influence.
Information and knowledge is power.
Webadoo is now potentially the richest and most powerful human being
ever in history.
Some say that "www" in fact stands for the "webadoo wide web"
While i may have put the "w" in "banker", Cristina has certainly put
the "w" in "writing on the web".

Yeah, but the spelling is still only 3% correct; so if we owe you
£1,800,000,000, please pay us all our equal share of the other 97% for
proof-reading/editing & correcting.

My bank details are as follows:

Just kidding... Chris, you're a complete star.

Jeff... you've missed out on a career as a stand-up comedian. :-D

Hehe, you're welcome ... I wish I were the blogging  kind .... but
considering my 301's turn to 310's most of the time, I'd probably
misspell blog and call it blob or something equally unappetizing ...
and then try to 310 it to the right one ... and you can see where this
is going ;)

Wow, Incredible.

Webado Rocks!

Jeff, You are a riot :)

Also , That's a huge amount of keystrokes.
Average of a conservative 6 characters a word,
That's over 12 Million keystrokes not counting space,
shift, backspace, delete and the cut and past of links.

Completely mind boggling!

That is just awesome Wedado. You have taught me just a wealth of info
and are highly respected not at just this place but in the whole
webmaster community. Your mousepad is getting dirty here but I am
afraid to wash it. It brings me good luck:). See you at the new forums
and bye to this place.
