    No doubt he's a Hall of Famer, but where does he rank in the pantheon?

    The threads he starts are equivalent to 1.6 threads started by anyone else.

    Among active posters, No. 1. On the all-time list, you could argue JDV and Feinian Bastard.

    He's an accumulator.

    I wonder how many of his threads are created while he’s on the treadmill?

    He operates in kilometers while the rest of us stick with the mile. A paradox, given how much he hates soccer.

    The more relevant, better questions would be "Great thread starter?" Or "Greatest-thread starter?"

    Just saying...:)

    His thread-starting numbers rank pretty high, but he just doesn't pass the eye test.

    I think the backstory of his Poin-type relationship with his high school band instructor places his posts in sufficient context. Blowing his own horn makes much more sense if you take into account his whole life's story.

    Just like President Obama, DW earns bonus points for being a White Sox fan.
