Too much for the board? Or too much for you boss, spouse or health?

Yes.

You should listen to TVB and I. We have experience!

[EDIT]
Ugh. I'm not a grammar prude, but I can't believe I posted that.

You should listen to TVB and ME. We have experience!

Don't worry. Your a long ways away from "too much".

HOLY **** that is a lot of posts. Wow. I have over 1k posts on three other forums (one is under the name maddiedog). I can't even remotely imagine spending 20k posts worth of time on a forum. That's dedication. I bet you know EVERYTHING about the Focus, which is really awesome in its own way.

Edit: but back on topic, as long as you're helping keep conversation moving and helping others, there is no such thing as too many posts. The site owner, eric, is a great example of that. Every one of his posts that I've seen is helpful, and he has over 10k posts.

You may be posting on MB too much if…

…most of your posts are NSR.
…all of your posts are NSR.
…you're a troll.
…the lines between "sharing" and "oversharing" become blurred.
…your child is born and your first thought is to post it to MB.
… 25% or more of what you post is incoherent nonsense.
…a good friend comes to you with a problem and you tell him/her it's probably vapor lock.
…you name your pets after MB members.
…you know your post count, your post per day count, and track your site stats.
…you try to stop posting and break out in a sweat and start to shake.
…your Internet goes out and you become catatonic.
…you're on the secret list.

Oddly enough, you can qualify for that list with as little as two posts.

Secret list? What's the secret list? Am I on the secret list? I never heard of a secret list (oh, I guess I'm not on it then huh?). Hmm, maybe I post too much.

And as you may have figured out by now NBR stands for "Not Buddy Related"

I just tell them that their relationship will be fine, its just not running quite right and they probably just need to rejet it
