QuoteOriginally posted by: flairplayA man in Canada has beaten the record of most new posts on a single website forum in a 24 hours period.Ppauper of Ontario Canada posted 103,500 messages on a website devoted to quantitative finance. This beat the previous record by a whopping 103, 473. Critics dismissed the award. Said "Gardener", a fellow poster, "The website is about quantitative finance, but PPuaper's posts have nothing to do with it. They are just random collections of bizarre trivia. The actual content of his posts is less than any epsilon you can think of."Ppauer, while accepting the award, launched a scathing attack on his critics. "They know nothing and are just jealous. My output is prodigious and prolific and my vision is eclectic."When asked about critcism that his posts are not about quantitative finance he guffawed, "What would they know who only Quantitative Finance know? I posted 103,500 messages in 24 hours on a QF site. That is quantity, and it is on a finance site. QED!"This is probably one of the best posts ever in Off-Topic.
