h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I was thinking of doing a bit of editing of my conversation threads, you know, tidy the place up a bit and all that. That was until I went back to check exactly how many I was in.

I haven't the time to clean up 550

So instead I'll ask, whose got the record?

Make that 551...

I think last time I checked I was subscribe to about 1700. But Mina was subscribed to more than 2500. It's very easy if you choose to subscribe to every new conversation in Peer Review and Ask h2g2 to end up with thousands of conversations you've never even looked at.

I recently tidied mine up....took me over 2 hours!

I think Ottox has the record!!

Ottox is subscribed to 4,368 conversations at the moment.

He's added one more now

I just checked, and was surprised to find 146, almost all of which I have posted to. If I find something I'm not intersted in, I tend to unsubscribe immediately, so it keeps my total down. I also haven't been on h2g2 for all that long.

too many is all i know

Hmmm

Well it's over 1000 and that only goes back as far as July last year.

Considering I've been a member since september 1999 I hate to think and can't be bothered to count that far back

I've decided to start responding to all the really old postings on my first threads. I just did one from way back in November, about two days after I joined.

i saw that and thought it was a bit random but now i understand

You have a different definition of *Way back* to me I suspect.

ahh only subcribed to 269 conversations

Very different. On another scale, though, two or three years is also merely an instant. Time is relative, and b******s like that.

Can I be permitted to use up my weekly stupid question quota and ask "how do you know this?"

Thanks Woodpigeon.

ok 72*25 +4 = 1804 conversations but thet peter out in Jan 2001 (only just pre-rupert) so it's likely much more than that really

Go to your Personal Space and click on 'more conversations'. Each complete page of old postings contains 27 of them (I counted) at which point, it goes onto a second page, which you can reach by clicking the link at the bottom of the page. Count the pages, multiply, and add the leftover on the final page.

25 posting on mine.

Are you in goo?
