Has MrEureka's hypotheticals established a record?

How many is he up to now? Can he reach 500?

    Hypothetically...

  • He's up to fifteen, but only five of them were posted this morning. They're just popular. Look at the number of different posters on each one. I think they're a real success. image

    Of course I can, but I'm going to stop around 30. After that, I'm going to select the top 20 for a "bull session" at the ANA Summer Seminar. You guys are helping me refine my questions. Thank you!

  • Oh, you're going to be at coin camp this summer, Andy? How exciting! I'll be there for the second week. I'll look forward to meeting you. image

    I don't know if it's a record but I find it unfair to other posters
  • It sure helps my noobie post count...keep em up.

    Andy--I think your hypothetical posts are great but you should consider spreading them out more and doing one or two per day over a few days or weeks. I am beginning to feel overwhelmed. They are too good not to read but most of us don't have enough time to keep up with all of them. Just a friendly suggestion.

    Just condense them into a poll or two, then there would be more responses.

  • I opened up like, one of them, and then just shook my head when I noticed the those threads go on and on like the Energizer Bunny. For me they were a turn off.

    I never go to off topic but I found MrEureka's hypotheticals interesting. I responded to every one of them.

    I liked them, too, and have absolutely no quarrel with anyone who initiates an inordinate number of threads. Frankly, I don't understand the objection(s).

    Mozin---I agree but he should have spread them out over a few days rather than post them all at once.

    Hypothetically, no.

    Sorry some of you were overwhelmed. I'm in a hurry to put together my presentation for Colorado Springs or I wouldn't have posted so many at once. For those that enjoyed at least some of the threads, I'm glad.
