    I probably make, like... 3 posts a month, maximum (maybe a few more on especially active months!), and send less private messages. Although I still have to reply to Rantzien. (I haven't forgotten you! )

    Let's see. Before I was staffed I maxed out my box once, where I cleaned out a few hundred messages. Now, I have 1502, so I've probably had about 2000 in all. I'm close to 9100 posts overall, so it's a bit over a 1:4 ratio, I guess. To be honest I prefer it if people catch me on MSN or something over PM, so the number is less because of that.

    1 to 4.

    for every 4th post, I receive a PM.

    I've deleted all my sent items, but I imagine it shouldn't be much different from my received ones.

    I possibly send out one Private Message for every hundred posts; so where are we at?! Two-thousand or so posts, so maybe two-hundred Private Messages in my long and illustrious history here!? If you like pretending to be special, you can pretend my Private Messages are collector items!

    Just checking
    Yeah...

    I'm waiting for my hair to dry, so I decided to look it up.

    20,612 posts from 97 months = That's 212.5 posts a month.

    I'm constantly clearing out my PM box since I don't have unlimited PMs storage anymore and a huge chunk of my box is devoted to EoY submissions. Right now, I have 1,402 PMs.

    So it would seem that it would be a bit under a 15:1 ratio, if I did that correctly. Either way, I don't PM much, and I post a lot.

    I've sent close to 2000 PMs over the last two years, and I've made almost 3000 posts. So it's more or less a 3:2 ratio.

    Disclosing any of this information risks showing how pitiful my post count is, and proving that nobody loves me enough to PM me. Usernotes on the other hand, I can do that.

    I likely have close to 2000 PM's altogether including the ones I deleted.

    Posts you look up yourself, close to 6000 now probably

    10,486 PMs, 25,119 posts. Both excluding deleted items which I'm not sure about the quantity of. Anyway - that's around 2.4 posts per PM.

    I have 24 special edition Genius Lynx Private Messages, that's apparently around 12% of his total sent private messages!
    Bow before the mighty Javoo!
