LOL BTW Chipper Q, if you do decide to go ahead and put together the code my email addy is my username to AOL.com.
Much easier task for the scorekeeper (e.g., delete a double post, or adjust the points)
The second macro should take less time to do, and will tabulate the participants total posts, and average points per post, in addition to listing the total points...
I just ran it using the current Word Link XXII thread, and it's shaping up like this:
I just noticed the points (actually difference in minutes rounded up, between posts) are out of sync with the posts... the previous post should have the points shown in the post that follows it... oops... easy to fix...

> Ok, the score for a post will be dependent on the length of time that post is the last in the thread. Time scored will be rounded up to the nearest minute.
Just testing... (At first I used tabs to align columns, but I'm pretty sure they don't work with the 'pre, /pre' BBcode tags, and so I thought of trying it in the following manner... [I could write some extra code to pad the output with spaces, which would work with the pre tags, I think... the tallying routine adds the color/bold tags, so the scorekeeper just does copy/paste...] )
So here's an unofficial (not checked for double posts, continuity) thread-sifted tally (399 Posts!) for this thread:
And when the thread's concatenated, it's easy to see the evolution...
