Congrats DD. Good to see you are not a big deal about it either.

As they say, he's very humble with plenty to be humble about. ;)

With this post, I am now exactly at the 50 percent like ratio!!

I've joined hall of famers Nan, Kib, JS, Biff....and I'm humbled by the company I am now keeping.

It's been a long haul of posting and begging. I'm exhausted. I knew the "UConn in the news" post would put me over the top.

So, all I have to say is.....
Some of you are amazing! I was happy when my like ratio went from 15% to 20%. Now that it is approaching 25%, I'm ecstatic. But 50% is stratospheric. Amazing!

Sorry, I can't like THIS post. :)

Hard to imagine you humbled, DD, but if you say so.......

If we had a category for dislikes, it's theoretically possible they could exceed the likes even if the likes are at 50%.

Theoretically, that is. Not necessarily suggesting anything about you, Doggy.

But if you take just three mods, and each is irritated by only 20% of your posts, to take a conservative number . . .

Only 20% per mod?? I'm pretty happy about that.

Don't get too cocky, they only read 25% of your posts.

Nice try. But they read all of my posts. How else would they know which ones to delete?

I never get likes; my threads go nowhere; I have no idea what my percentage is, maybe one or two likes per year. So Doggy, I'm thrilled for you. It's especially meaningful because you are occasionally profoundly abrasive, not a Mr. Niceguy. So even more to be respected; it's your analysis that gets you the points, and rightly so!

-Are you sure you haven’t been going about this the wrong way? :confused:
.
- I can’t imagine I’m the only one here who simply logs on each night using the accounts of his dog, goldfish, & hermit crab (you have to be appointed Legal Guardian, of course). I then “Like” any post their inner voices instruct me to (I don’t bother asking my cat anymore; but, don’t get me started on her…). Anyway, they’ve certainly turned my life around on websites, blogs, … despite all the crap they still take on Facebook, eHarmony, etc. Anyway, glad it worked out, DD! Thanks, for doing the UConn News... from all of us!

This episode reminds me of the another old quote..."We are so vain that we even care for the opinion of those we don't care for." :)

Maybe DD has been padding the stats? You know, having multiple handles on the BY where he can like "his own" posts? ;)

Just kidding ya, chien pere (or is that pere chien?)! Love most of your posts. Nothing can be 100% you know. How much fun would that be?

That's a damn shame, because your deleted posts are always my favorites! :)

I was thinking...if I could just squeak out another 596 "likes" from this post, I'd be right there with you as a Boneyard 1%er. ;)
