>Yep. Now if you consider half the messages are questions and half are awnsers, that means the Top 15 (who are,except for 2, all MVPs) have helped close to 20,000 people here.

The question response ratio is not 1 to 1. It is about 80 questions per day turn into about 400 answers or 1 question to 5 answers.

So of the 253,000 messages only 50,000 were messages. The top 10 posters potentially answered them all! Even more amazing.
