) and he put it up. Much was my surprise when I found it was on a thread called The old days - Aboard the Apollo - 1973. It was explained to me something like "it gets 1,000 hits a day". Whenever I look, there are less than ten people looking at it, self included, mostly they are guests, and I don't know if they are interested in "Brazil", a ship I had never heard of (I'm European) or Pilot Reposts. )

I much appreciate that note (in its entirety). Thank you.
I also don't have much affinity for "high stats" and ran a magazine for many years where the readership stayed on and on at about 150. To me it is a bad indicator (a minor one - more of an irritation button) that every time one posts on this board some sort of a "snob title" gets announced, based on the number of times one posts.
Two or three months ago in visiting a friend I found that he had made a close study of the Pilot's posts, and even made his own selection. That was the seed that started the "Pilot Speaks from the Dead" thread. I decided, with contributions sent to me by this friend to post them on three lists I was associated with feeling that maybe the Pilot's work had become a little forgotten. (I will certainly publish contributions by others, and there is nothing to stop anyone posting their favorite Pilot Post or other quote)
I thought of this board, but had not really made my self familiar with it, and did not have a clue how to start a thread. However talking to another friend he offered to put the first one up for me. I even lent him my password (I should have demanded a high deposit
So that's why you are seeing these reposts here. I intended to show to a small quality readership bright points of a man with a mixed career. It would be a pity if this deteriorated into a discussion amongst people who do not know all the facts on how the Pilot came to be in his present hidden place.
It is quality (of readership) that counts for me.
All the best

A Thread Hostess is the Apollo Thread OP's term for a refinement of what the OP calls "Vinay Tech" for bumping and extending one's own thread solely to perpetuate the Thread and get Stats that was employed during the old days aboard the Apollo Thread.
You have several folks that have the duty to comment on, schmooze, cajole, ack, etc anyone that posts on the Thread so as to elicit, solicit, encourage, etc them to post again and to look at the Thread at least once per day, thereby keeping the thread alive, creating more hits, having the Thread appear on the old ESMB Front Page nearly 24/7 and, as soon as possible, appearing on the top 10 list.

). No, please concentrate on the positive (“Accentuate the positive” - also a song from my younger days).
Okay...so, you're saying "...that was employed during the old days aboard the Apollo Thread" is not accurate? That, to me, contradicts an earlier post you made today, and earlier posts you have made, re "Hosts and Hostesses" but, obviously, one of us is misreading the other...or both.
No biggie.
Peace.
