**** Whitman: Great thread starter or greatest thread starter?

[Mr. Sunshine]

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

 

[MisterCreosote]

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

 

[cjericho]

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

 

[TheSportsPredictor]

He's an accumulator.

 

[Rainman]

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

 

[Donny in his element]

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

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

 

[WriteThinking]

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

Just saying...

 

[CD Boogie]

The Phil Niekro of thread starters. O

 

[Oggiedoggie]

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

 

[bumpy mcgee]

Great thread starter, better guy.

 

[heyabbott]

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.

 

[I Should Coco]

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

 

[Evil ... Thy name is Orville Redenbacher!!]

This is ridiculous.
Lots of people start threads. Hell anybody can start a thread. How about the pages or responses generated?
What's his slugging percentage with these threads?
Plus, you have to factor in how much he pads his own threads with devil's advocate arguments and spats with other posters. And do we factor in other handles he may have used?
He's a compiler. The Jim Kaat of thread starters.

 

[MisterCreosote]

Yeah, sometimes he's like the basketball player who racked up a triple-double by purposely missing a few layups just so he can get his own rebounds.

 

[Baron Scicluna]

I think I'm going to sit out the vote on this one.

 

[DanOregon]

He's no BYH.

 

[3_Octave_Fart]

I remember a time in my life when I did as little work as possible. I envy Dickie, truthfully.

How long has this place been around anyway? I thought it was relatively new. Does this
Feinian ******* or JDV come around anymore. I don't recall any posts from either in my short time here.

First rule about SJ...

Hi Sandy!
