number of posts

OK maybe i don't understand how things work but how the heck can some people on this board have as many posts as they do. I notice that some people that have not been on this board as long as me have a LOT ( and I do mean a lot) more posts. I thought that I was on and posting too much but now I realize that I am an AMATEUR compared to some of you!!!!! I guess that I am going to have to try harder in the future!
