I'm not a big "personal development" guy, but came across an article today that urges people to challenge themselves 40 different ways over the next 30 days. One of the suggestions is as follows:

#8 Participate in an online community you’ve lurked in every day for a month

Participation in online communities tends to follow a 90–9–1 rule:

90% of users just lurk and don’t add anything new
9% of users contribute once in a while
1% of users participate all the time and produce almost all of the content.

If you get value out of a community without participating, it might be nice to add something for other people to enjoy for a short time. (See: You’re Good Enough, You’re Smart Enough, and People Would Like You.) (Applies to real-world communities too although it’s harder to lurk in those. See: Bowling Alone.)

Just food for thought, and a couple bonus items:

1. Bruce Weber has more losses at AFH than Self
2. KU is 64-6 vs KSt over the last 70 games.

Rock Chalk !!

Thanks for the post, AZ!

Here's a 1%er (never thought I'd call myself one of those, but as with all things, it depends upon the topic) adding his 2 cents worth to your post.

Your point 1 --
Self's KU teams are 290-16 in The Phog after last night's game (the 16 Ls were10 Big 12 games, 6 nonconference).
Weber at KState is 0-10 in AFH after last night's game.
No idea if Weber's coached other teams (Illini, NIU etc.) in AFH.

Your point 2 -- KU 64-6 in last 70 games v KState
All 6 of those losses are on Self's watch.
Self's Jayhawks are 38-6 against KState after last night.

Question -- the additional 26-0 that makes up the last 70 games were all under Roy, of course, but just how long was Roy's KU winning streak against KState in toto? (I always take the opportunity to use a tangential Oz reference when I can.

) Seems to me it went on forEVER...
