Well, I have no inside track with the moderators here, but I do work in IT. It was a very active thread. I have no doubt it had more activity that the rest of "off topic" and maybe more activity than all of AK. Thats just a guess. Whether it was consuming enough resources to be on the radar as a "problem" or not, I dont know. I imagine it could have.
I dont know if you caught it, but at the near the end of the thread there was another discussion about post counts, probably the third time around in that thread. Post counts dont mean anything to me. As I recall Sam thought they were somewhat important.
There was a couple days later another thread called "tell the lurkers how great AK is" or something like that. It came out in that thread that several people felt that if you had a low post count, you wouldnt get much response here. They were dead serious. I didn't know what to say. It certainly doesn't mirror my experiencce. My second thread here is 2 or 3 pages long. When I was a complete newbie here, AKer gonzp shipped a big heavy oscilloscope up here for me, all the way from Colorado! I would bend over backwards to do the pony express for someone else. I think AK is the greatest. It's great to hear from you again, Yamahafreak.
Ozmoid put it best. "I miss our coffee klatch".
Regarding the television set, since nobody else mentioned it, Electrohome is a Canadian brand. Though I am less than 100 miles from the border, we just dont see Canadian electronics here at all. That makes it twice as interesting to me. Still, I doubt I'll be the new owner.
