Well, Todd said that the number was under 1,000. At the rate this thread has been going (29.286 posts per hour) we'll hit that number in 34.15 hours. That'll put us around 7:50 PM CST tomorrow. I wonder about the shortest time a thread has ever taken to get to 1,000 posts. I wonder if there's a way for Spark to track something like that.
Anyways, thanks again to Todd for his generosity and for the most exciting GAW thread I can ever remember seeing, and I've seen an incredible number here.
