Some statistics on posters' "Likes"

I got "Likes" on a couple recent posts and started wondering how I was doing compared to others. So I clicked on Members/"Notable Members" (which is really "Frequent Posters Regardless of How Notable Their Content Is") and put their post count and Likes count in a spreadsheet to calculate the ratios.

Uncle Paden is far ahead of the pack with an average of 0.33 likes per post, about double anyone else.

Then in order, with a fairly smooth decline in the ratio, come Brad Ott, Wendell, Nate, Holy Cow, Bill93, Jim Frame, MightyMoe, A Harris, Dave Karoly, Radar, Robert Hill, Foggyidea, Mark Mayer, Angel, Kris Morgan, Paul in PA, Kent McM, and BigE.

There may be other posters with great likes/post ratios, but it was too much work to search beyond the 20 most frequent posters.

Bill,

It's an interesting statistic, since it only appeared with the advent of the new interface. I'm a recent member, but my ratio hovers around 62%. That is, 147 likes out of 236 posts, so far. I must be a likeable guy ...

Yes, that is a problem for the ratio statistic. The post count goes back before the interface change but the like count does not. So long-time posters are at a disadvantage. But it was all I could quickly calculate.

If that's true, Uncle Paden must have gamed the system, because at 5000+ posts since 2010, he has over 1666 likes!

Bill, After reading about the "events" the Cash brothers participated in back when life was enjoyable it is understandable that Mr. Cash is in first place. Hot wiring old trucks is apparently a juvenilism effort compared to other deeds attributed to the Clan. It makes perfect sense that hacking a "Like" button on a site would not be considered a superior accomplishment. More likely it would be just a "run of the mill" misdeed accomplished with little effort. (Them Cash boys is smart).
I suspect Mr. Cash has hacked the like button associated with himself to register 10 likes everytime it is pushed instead of the "one" everybody else receives. I know a friend of his, a Nun no less, who will give the whole scoop next time I see her. (She is currently at our Diamond mine on Mars but will return soon.)

Warren, I wanted to click "like" on your post (because you are so likable). But then I realized that your post might just be a scam to garner "likes" in an effort to raise your ratio.

I'm on to you! B-)

You are correct our four legged Divine Bovine. Also in the South we pronounce Cuba, ‰ÛÏCuba‰ÛÏ not Cuber, we NEVER say ‰ÛÏjeeze‰Û or ‰ÛÏyouse guys‰Û and call all soft drinks ‰ÛÏcoke‰Û not ‰ÛÏpop‰Û, and we don‰Ûªt care about ‰ÛÏHow we do it back home‰Û from transplants. When y‰Ûªall Northerners can finally figure out how to fry chicken and fish then you may have a slim chance of fitting into Southern Culture. 😉

PS: If you are interested in associating yourself with Southern culture I have some Grit Trees (they make great grits) for sale, they are 4' seedlings and are $46 each or 3 for $225.32. Send check made out to "cash".

Dammit Paden, how am I supposed too suppliment my income with you blabbing away with false information. Everyone knows grit vines are hard to grow and don't produce the quality grit like actual grit trees. Just stick to trying to figure out if the Earth is round instead of barging in on Southern Culture. 😉

We can understand your confusion; however, they are not Southerners and we are not cowboys. For the record, neither do we claim anybody South of Orlando.

Those of us in the Midwest have a problem with people in Ohio and Michigan claiming to be Midwesterners. Maybe in the 1700's, but not now.

Money Penny's folks hail from Viskahnsen. They too claim some mysterious geographically misplaced location called "mid" and "west".

It's really difficult to hear things like, "Shut dat daw. Wuz yooz bawn in a bon?"
