The *real* question is how many times in the past several years has Jerry used the word "villify", or any of its derivitives...

Yeah, but you gotta remember, while Google may well be the eighth wonder of the world for its search engine, those guys still reconstitute threads using the subject instead of using the message id's (eg, E2nPa.11337$hY1.2747201), so those post counts are hard to trust.

Google is hard to trust on something like that. If you post something, and the subject line happens to match the subject line of a post that is even years old, then Googlebot puts it in the same older thread.
