Podiatry Arena's Top 30

Re: Podiatry Arena's Top 30 posters

Craig:

Since you and Admin are one and the same.......you should be combined into one Craig/Admin person that has 2,583 postings......much more than enough to get my name out of that infernal top poster list!!igs:igs:igs:igs:igs:igs:

 

Re: Podiatry Arena's Top 30 posters

Admin, methinks QUALITY of posts should be considered in the scaling if this exercise is repeated! I get an adrenaline rush seeing my forum name amongst those luminaries (yes Russell and Isaacs included) and I've taken a hard copy and will frame and hang same for my peers to gaze at. yours mark 'joh' conley

 

Re: Podiatry Arena's Top 30 posters

Oh dear... I'm up there too... so apparently I'm still addicted to Podiatry Arena...but not as much as Kevin Kirby is...

 

Re: Podiatry Arena's Top 30 posters

Admin, shouldn't we separate the sexes, a list for the girls, let's face it poor darlings are starting behind the 8-ball to begin with, give them a lift, encourage them!

 

Re: Podiatry Arena's Top 30 posters

I'm all for equal opportunity Mark! Besides if we separate the sexes I'll look like even more of a nerd than what I already am!

:empathy:

Kevin. You belong there. Deal with it. Acceptance is the first step to learning to cope.

Co-incidentally i tend to agree that there should be some measure of quality there. Oops, Kevin again.

At the risk of enraging the mighty top poster, i think Brian deserves an Honorable mention here. I have learned a great deal from people's replies to his posts both in bio mechanics in general and on the functioning of the scientific method at the highest levels as well. Witnessing the likes of Kevin and Simon in high gear is an Honor and a privilege. These threads have also produced some of the funniest posts on the forum (other than the chicken crossing the road threads!)

Robert

Re: Podiatry Arena's Top 30 posters

Almost shed a tear...

We may be "witnessed in high gear" together next week at PFOLA splitting atoms with blunt instruments over a few cold ones:drinks

606- think I'll make 666 real special :butcher:

PS just notced that I'm a podiatry arena veteran- hmmmm does not help with my midwife crisis

 

Re: Podiatry Arena's Top 30 posters

Robert:

Not to worry. I admit that I tend to pick on certain people....those that I feel rightfully deserve it by their attitudes and actions. It is just who I am and the way I act is certainly not meant for all personalities. I agree that our discussions with/about Ed Glaser and Brian Rothbart were some real classics on Podiatry Arena. I sometimes miss these discussions. Maybe as I age, it is likely that I will post to these podiatry websites less frequently. However, I can't see this happening within the next few years......because I am having just too much fun with it all!

Simon:

Looking forward to seeing you in San Diego. :drinks

Eric Fuller, Craig Payne, Karl Landorf and a few others of the contributors to Podiatry Arena will be there. I'll be there Thursday with my lovely wife, at about 1 PM. I spoke with the meeting organizer today and about 240 have signed up as attendees with many more expected in the lecture halls as exhibitors/lecturers. Looks to be about the same size crowd as last year's meeting in snowy Chicago.

Can't wait to see your lecture on FEM of foot orthoses. Should be a good one!igs::drinksigs:

 

I have also just noticed that now after 200 posts you become a "Veteran", and Kevin gets the title MVP. Is this based on quantity or quality? Because in Kevin's case we have both.

 

Hey CP,

I just noticed the "spam buster" title... very noice... I feel very special!

What about a "snake oil" title? Or is that too nasty? Slap on the wrist for me...

Donna

 

Being a regular follower of Podiatry Arena for some time I feel as though I should at least elevate my title to 'rookie' status.

As the number of persons submitting their location on the new map steadily increases, can I suggest a new category list for the most remote users. At present I'd like to install myself as the early favourite to secure top place, admin outside.

 

Craig:

OK, OK, OK.....so I'll now have to buy you a beer or two in San Diego next week, Craig. :drinks

Don't know if everyone that has "locked horns" with me on Podiatry Arena considers me an "MVP". I'm sure that many can come up with some more colorful acronyms that they feel better describe my ability to offend their egos. igs:

 

As a side issue, its good to look at how many new members joined in October, looks like the biggest month ever for new membership.

That certainly says a lot about the site and the quality of the postings/information here, thanks for the big effort guys

 

With Newsbot posting 100 plus messages in the last few days, I have noticed that Kevin has been knocked off as top poster!!

 

Hooray!!!!

 

I thought Newsbot was being particularly studious there!

So just because he's been knocked off as Top Poster, it doesn't take away KK's "MVP" crown...

 

Oh really? Is there anything computers can't do?

Somehow I don't think you would be evil enough, CP! We wouldn't want to annoy the MVP to Podiatry Arena... It is a shame that he lost the top spot though...

 

It won't last. Perhaps a thread to draw kevin out would be in order, get him back to the top spot. Something he can't resist.

Actually you know i think Ed glazer has added a lot to the profession. His carefully thought out, extensivly researched and excellant model really should be something we all adopt. It's a new and better paradigm, repeatable and reliable (which is, of course, the same thing).

Why oh why don't we ALL switch to MASS position casting? It must be reluctance to embrace positive change.

Unless anyone wants to say otherwise....
You know you want to....


Regards
Robert

PS (my luck it will be Simon who happens upon this first:butcher:. Then they'll be trouble!)

 

I am a tad saddened to learn of Newsbot's true status. I always regarded him/her as being, yes studious Donna, but also provocative, on the edge, with just an appropriate touch of wit.
A role model for lesser pod's like myself, a hero worthy of adulation.
... Has anyone out there had any experience in the removal of tattoos?

 

Robert:

Funny thing....Craig tells me that Mr. Ed may be at the San Diego PFOLA seminar that we will all be arriving at tomorrow. Craig told me that I may get to meet him for the first time. Joy! My secret weapon.....Dr. Spooner. He going to be my bodyguard....cuz he sez heez one of dem rugby dudes

 

Oh to be a fly on the wall. I suppose cramming a round table debate into the agenda then videoing it and posting it on youtube would be too much to hope for?

If he offers to buy you a drink, make sure you see it poured!

Robert

 

Hi Craig

Bloody ell !! Fame at last :dizzy:

On the same page as the icons of the profession Woooo Woo

Err Umm someone must have made a mistake

Perhaps they have spelt my name wrong er ...er..er..:

You all and yours Be Lucky :drinks

Cheers
Derek

 

Robert:

Just got back from PFOLA......there were quite a few Pod Arena regulars who were there and may want to discuss what did occur at the meeting in this regard.........

 

Woo-hoo!
I made the list!

I might have to get ambitious and see if I can gain veteran status!

 

Trying hard to get off the list and seem to be succeeding.... noticed that I've gone from 601 posts down to 590 posts over the last two weeks. Didn't realise you got the shrinks in cyberspace!

 

No problem...like the notion of being deleted when redundant. Very Orwellian!

Best wishes for 2008
