Find the thread in 2004 that when you take the # of views divided by the number of replies = the highest number. Disqualify all those under 100 views.

That would be just about impossible to figure out. I can just imagine how long it would take to go through.

Excel could do it... I beat just copy and paste the # of views in one column and # of posts in another column ask it to divide the total view overs the # of post. And ask it to submit a Solution. And you could also take that data further and graph a chart.

I probably do know how to use Excel.

Hmm. I recall downloading and installing the program back in October.
