    I believe that the Non-Chess Forum IS part of ChessTalk (Henry?).

    Why should posts there not count as "Posts to ChessTalk".

    We are not counting just "Posts to the Chess Fora (English/French)"!

    It does seem like it includes the non-chess postings...

    Both Just Wondering (Gary Ruben) and Wayne Komer were dedicated chesstalkers. As long as I was on the board Just Wondering was leading poster, so at least fifteen years. Shortly after Egidijus took over as leading poster after Gary passed, Wayne Komer took over the lead and kept it unitl he passed three years later. I was a thousand posts behind Wayne Komer when he passed away but have posted over 5,000 posts in the last three years. I guess you could say thats prolific posting. Gary Ruben passed in February 2015 and Wayne Komer in September 2021. Both are missed.
