How do you know he ran up 130 posts since his Basta? I'd be a little more worried about the "get a life" factor of a person who worries about when Daniel posts, how much and for how long, than Daniel himself.
Well it's pretty easy to find number of posts between dates on that board with the sort functions they have.
I single out Peterson because of his continued rhetoric of "how busy" he is and that, when it's convenient to dodge an answer, of why he is suddenly "to busy" to post. [by the way, looks like he is at that 200 posts/week at the other board now!] His addiction is just being filled there now. I doubt teaching what he does at BYU is very demanding or in demand so free time is obvious plentiful for him. I mean, seriously, how many times can one review, or edit the review of, the same book!
For those who post a lot here, so be it if that's what they enjoy. I just don't see them complaining of the little time they have for this board while they do it (as does Peterson).
For me, I just would go stir crazy sitting in front of screen for the time it would take to run up the posts that Peterson does. I prefer to be in front of people or active outside as opposed to being in front of a keyboard. It just seems to be more productive and rewarding for me.
