But you've made the top 5 busiest conversations

I guess that counts as vocal

Wow, I thought it would only make Top 5 Conversations during the long, slow weekend when everyone was busy doing other things. Nice to see it's still there!

Not to mention featuring researchers with the longest average postings:

Arrrgh!
Be quiet! All of you! Now! I'm trying to keep up with the conversations here!

Damn! Broke the reload button...

PS: And my cookie went bust just now and I had to re-login...

Damn. Does "vocal" mean the same as "verbose?" LeKZ was consistently at the top of that list during her time here. Does the same fate await anyone who regularly averages 3000+ words per post?

Perhaps the Mods are payed per post and got fed up?

???!!?! I'm on a list??!!? Well, shut my mouth! This doesn't make me a deer in some headlights or crosshairs or anything, does it?

Hell, I don't even know the secret handshake.

Easy, the secret handshake looks vaguely like this:

Perhaps we should be targetting recruitment at the non-members on the list?

In response to someone else, "verbose" means "using more words than necessary". LeKZ rarely did that, I try not to circumlocute, and I think most of the SBVM are equally articulate!

Ah! Sinking back into anonymity. Whew!

"verbose" means "using more words than necessary". LeKZ rarely did that...and I think most of the SBVM are equally articulate!

As with any writing, that's a matter of opinion. Articulate people can write more than necessary too. I cringe whenever I make the top of that list, cuz I imagine what my Creative Writing profs would say: "NEEDS CUTTING!"
