You know, this forum doesn't really have 20 000 posts on it. According to my recent calculations, as of June 2, 2000 this forum only has 16 624 posts. That means that there are only 83% of the posts that the top number reports. I probably could have done this easier by just asking Sam, but oh well.

I'm sure we know where the unaccounted 3 376 posts are. I can see the logic to it. After all, the "all messages" page is 4.41 MB on it's own....and that's just the links! It's also 1823 pages on font size 12, Times New Roman, according to MS-Word. Alternitively, 97 pages font size 2 with 4 columns :-)
(And you won't believe how many times I had to do this before I managed to get the whole operation done without Word crashing...well, maybe you will. Let's just say it took a while)
