Hey, now, that's not nice, my posting habits have dropped to less than six per day. I'd be willing to bet more than half the active posters on here post more than six per day. Heck, Cathy's been averaging triple that just on the LTE thread. ;)

For Wilson and all the grammar folks on the board:

From Wikipedia: About 700: The Beverley Grammar School is founded by St. John of Beverley.

Also from Wikipedia: 700 is the sum of four consecutive primes (167 + 173 + 179 + 181). It is a Harshad number. (I read the explanation of a Harshad number and I think I'll wait for Windsor to explain it to me or come back to it later.)

Damn. I missed 500 completely!

(note to self: pay more attention to post count)

508 is a silly milestone but we’ll call if 500 with 8 posts of experience

508th Parachute Infantry Regiment (WW-II) - the famed Red Devils – darn it would be really cool if they could have been BLUE

The Fiat 508 is kinda cool --

Hmm. . . I should have posted about this earlier, but I surpassed my DBR post count here on CTN about 160 posts ago.
