Hey, wowbagger's kicking my butt, I have a feeling the last of the top five is going to be bouncing around a bit. Then again, he may have more time on his hands then I do these days. More power to you!!

Well, if the pair of you keep at it, you'll both pass up that 4th place guy. (Will we suddenly be seeing to the top 10 posters then?)
Of course if you go too far, I might have to start deleting your posts to keep my front-running status!

That's quite possible. Although I do feel a little bad for temporarily eliminating the only lady on this august list. Not!

Well, it's not that I didn't have more important things to do... 
We seem to be focussing on different fields, as far as I can tell. However, you contributed many riddles more than me, so you deserve to appear on that list. I hope we'll stay that close together until finally becoming Überpuzzlers (again).

Good question!

By the time we match your "Multi" posting-skills (studiously ignoring the "Super Matura" part), you should already be fully occupied trying to keep towr in check.  We shouldn't miss that chance, maryl!

Alas! That will be problematic. Towr has the ability to fight back. But you two are still open game!

Ah wowbagger, I'm just messing with ya.
Icarus on the other hand is trippin'.
Na, I don't mind at all; it was neat seeing my name in the top five but I won't let it go to my head-like some people I could mention. 
I have to get more skilled at working icons and doodads, cause I'm defenseless against the wiles of the more experienced forum runner. Arrgg! And I could never match the number of words either-I'm just not a chatty person.
I'm sure Icarus has earned his status.

What is power good for if you can't abuse it? Towr may well prove a challenge. I have managed to knock James down a post.
(Alright - it was a post he had replied to point out to someone that their puzzle was already on the forum. The other poster had removed his original post, leaving James' reply by itself making no sense whatsoever.)
Now I need to find justifications for removing more!

Hehe. Well, if we do, it won't be for my sake ... top 10 sounds pretty good anyways. If I really wanted to assure my position, I could invoke my mighty admin powers to falsely increment the number of posts attributed to me! However, such inflation will result in the devaluation of the post, and eventually result in lowering the general standard of living.

I'm not worried.
If you behave, I might just include you in my hopes.
Besides, you won't be the first of us three anyway...

Hey, T&B, did you notice that with 600 posts, you're still a Senior Riddler in the threads, but already an Überpuzzler in the member listing? Your profile resolves this ambiguity, I'd say.

I don't see how. Anyway, profiles can be misleading, eg. yours says that your actual age is 27.
(I hereby resolve the discrepancy.)

Methinks this is not necessarily a contradiction.

T&B - I see that your member map now places you in London. Have you finally come home from China then?

No, although I was on holiday in UK for 6 weeks during July/August.
To be honest, after living in Asia for several years I find life in UK to be rather boring - and horribly expensive.

He He. T&B thought to slide by that number with a quick turn-around on posts. But I deleted one of his to put him back down! (Or possibly so that his thread wouldn't start with an erroneous puzzle.)
Alas, his 666 rating didn't last long. You just can't keep a good man down.

Actually, wowbagger got there first. However, he managed this only by knocking out as many one-line posts as he could in 24 hours as I neared the magic 600 (601?).
