Out of 483 posts, as of this writing, 33% have been written by quiet, occupant, kantolfir2, or carefuluniverse, all of whom are known to be the same person.

That's a third folks, by one poster alone. By comparison, Harv, the second most frequent poster in my sample, accounts for 11% of the posts, which is probably just a bit above average considering that the remaining two thirds, which Mike is nice enough to leave to the rest, is shared by no more than six frequent posters.

But sheer numbers can lie, as they often do, and if it were possible to somehow measure intellectual substance, Mike would probably be listed on the Guiness book as the person with the highest Language Removed-for-word ratio on the internet. OK, perhaps not the Guiness, perhaps Ripley's would be more fitting.

Bottom line is, this guy is sick beyond help.
