Default MLU country thread leaders???

I would venture a guess that the Aussie blokes are leading this race with the tea sipping Brits right on their arse. Bringing up the rear the Canucks and our wooden shoe clod hopper Dutch friends. Looking for a ranking might be our American neighbours. Cheers Rob

Default Yes you are.....

Hard to beleive that a French Canadian would be overposted by the Aussies....

... but remember we include a lot of pictures and they are all worth a thousand words.....

Voila ...!!!!

Of course it is not the quantity but the quality that counts.

So will it be country of origin or country of residence that counts towards the weighted National score? Hmmm....

Still, in my case, I'm not even in the running re quantity of posts......

Where DO all you blokes get the time??????

Hi Mike,
It is worrying when I realise how I am up in that leader board. To think how much TV I must have missed or all those pints down the pub

Hanno should change the moniker under the names (where it usually shows "registered user") to something catchy like "I have no life" or "Big mouth" for the top 15. Of course I only missed the top 15 by about 70 or 80 posts, so I had best not prod too much: Hanno could include no.s 16 to 20.

I feel like Tiger Woods - so far down on the 'leader board' that I could be on another golf course.
*this makes 1415

Ha! This thread is giving me a good laugh.

Richard, one of the BIG advantages of moving to the USA was we saved the cost of a TV set, and the time it took up watching it. the TV here is just so incredibly AWFUL that we haven't bothered buying one. Means I spend more time researching and writing (my staff at the AWM always said I had no life...), and Krystii spends more time in her studio, so bonus upon bonus!!

Still doesn't give me time to post THOUSANDS of posts on MLU or anywhere else....

I suppose with my ranking, the moniker would be 'Mike?...Mike who?'

Rob, you keep posting good content on this forum and you'll make it into the top 15! At least two of them will no longer be going up in the ranking . . .

Mike, think "new school" research and publishing. Pick a subject and start posting (publishing) away on this forum. You will be amazed by the input you will get from the members here. It's a form of "crowd research". You'll be amazed how quick you will go up in the ranking!

HTH,
Hanno
