Iceman is posting at the rate of 7,900 posts per year. Is he doing this himself or does he have a staff posting on this board? Does he even have time to drive his e60? What about his health if he keeps going at this superhuman pace? My wife yells at me and claims that I am obsessive/compulsive about posting on this board. I only post at the rate of 650 posts per year. I can only imagine the pressure that he is under from his wife. How can he keep going? Some have suggested that he is a god or at least a prophet. How can we tell?

Should we identify a replacement if he does one of the following?
a. Burns out.
b. Wife takes away his computer.
c. Ascends to heaven, if he is a prophet.

I don't think one person could take his place. We need a team of loyal 5er enthusiasts as backup. Probably 10 enthusiasts or 90 normal people.

Iceman is able to do this as he is half man, half robot, built by bmw, from the future. He's been sent back in time to talk about the e60, as it is an important car, that will change the motor industry for ever. He can type at 4063 words a minute if necessary, unbelievable.

When you look at it that way, he is truly an addict.

btw, pharding, how did you come up with 7,900 ? i was doing a little calculation and i think it should be over 8,910/year. and since he is still on vacation now. he obviously posts less than usual. so when he gets home and everything is back to normal. i think he can do 10,000/year .

I counted the months and I included November at one half month. Divided total posts by the number of months. I've heard of people burning out because of a job. Can you burn out because of a message board?
