Yes, the higher figure is probably including deletions.

It might be revealing to see who has achieved the most deletions as a percentage of their total number of postings.

Disappointingly I have scored 1 in 5995.

Who do we predict has the best score for deletions?

I've been on the edge of my seat unable to sleep awaiting #20,000.

Don't be a tease Roger!

Perhaps he is travelling back today from the Harrogate 4NCL Congress.
He might even post something in one of the less used Categories, hoping nobody will see it.

Is Roger teasing us? Or is he perhaps calling it a day, having said everything that can meaningfully be said?

It is high time to mark this solemn occasion with the recognition it rightly deserves and so I applied to English Heritage and they responded thus:

Never let it be said that Roger doesn't have a sense of humour!

Congratulations on the milestone, Roger.

I haven't agreed with ALL your 20k, but your posts are seldom boring and never petty.

Here's to 30K!
