How's everything doing today? Part 2!

if this thread does manage to replace the old thread, i think the stuff we've been discussing would end up being a net positive for the post office! when i created this thread, i was hoping that it would somehow reduce the number of overly large generals on the front page of the post office. i think this thread is on the right track, because if it does manage to replace the old thread, the uncomfortable conversation that you see now could end up causing anons to make fresh new threads with comfier topics, instead of posting here in this megathread and making the front page of the post office look less active with stale threads. it also wouldn't be as popular as the first thread, because with nobody purposely bumping it everyday (like the other OP was doing), this thread will have to eventually die.

let's assume >>3 and >>5 were from OP from the first thread (who i have high respect for keeping the post office active!)
now, do you remember this line?
I'll try posting here everyday if I can (or most), would be cool if you guys did too.
this line is from the beginning post of the first thread. now, let's estimate. let's assume the other OP really did make a post there every day. this means out of the 337 total posts in that thread, 280 of them or 83% of them are from him. this figure is obviously an overestimate as OP would be talking mostly to himself, so let's cut this down by half to represent that people are sometimes lazy or there is sometimes nothing to discuss.
this gives us the estimate of 140 posts or 41% of them being made by the other OP over the course of 10 months.
now, if you were the other OP, wouldn't you be mad if someone suddenly made a thread to replace your much bigger thread in which you routinely posted content there?
speaking for myself, i know i would have been too attached to the old thread at that point. i wouldn't want to let it die.

if you're not convinced by that argument, then as the one who created the random thought thread, i do remember feeling a little jealous myself when i saw other OP's thread getting more posts than my old thread, and i only made two posts to the random thought thread! while his thread was active for longer and has way more posts, so i would imagine he's angrier than i was right now.
