While looking over an ordered list of forum posters, I realized that Willow Zander and Torley Torgeson are in a neck-and-neck race to the 10,000 mark.

Using their current post counts and average daily post counts, I estimate that Willow will cross the threshold in 45 days and Torley in 49 days. However, I feel Torley's average daily post count hides a recent acceleration in posting, thus making the contest closer than a linear approximation makes it appear.

Vote for whom you think will hit 10,000 first! As an added bonus, anyone who guesses the time and date with the smallest margin of error will win a big fat L$2500 prize! The winning guess must be posted 14 days before the 10,000 mark is passed.

Good Luck! :D

Well since gambling is EVIL, I cant pick either, but ....

Any good handicapper can tell you that Willlow's post average is high because of the "new products" forum posts she made; posts now dis-allowed because of the no follow-up rules. This makes Torley the odds on favorite.

On the other hand Torley is so nice, now that she knows there is a contest she will likely do her best to make it an even dead heat or perhaps even to throw the race by pretending to get a stone in her shoe.

Ooh! Or staging another farewell only to come back and zip across the finish line at the last minute to collect the prize. :D
