Picture this scene - it is a Friday morning in spring, the birds are singing and somewhere in Stafford two dedicated souls are glued to their computers...

When it gets to 10000 we should set up video cameras to record the auspicious occaision! I will edit it and put it on youtube!

 

[victoriab]

Set up video cameras where?

Next to every individual who wants to be the 10000th poster - then edit the joy of said 10000th poster and the disappointment of anyone else!

Indeed.. Both values are drawn from the same variable, so they should be identical.. The same is true for all the values shared by the left-hand info. box and the footer
