My immediate instincts were to quickly say, "Two letters: DQ."
However, after a little research, it appears that no one won since there is no post 1700000, nor a 1699999 or 1700001. I wonder if this contributes to the record posts? They do not even show up as deleted posts. I wonder where they went?
On the other hand, even though Phil slimily tried to change his wag, it also appears as though his original wag was likely the closest. If there was a post 1700000, it occurred somewhere between 9:26:50 and 9:27:25 PM on 11-5-03. That would make Phil's wag around 54 minutes less off than your wag.
The last timely wag post was #msg-1639605. It was:
11-05-03 11:05:03 AM EST....Phil(Bullrider) 11-06-03 08:23:55 PM EST....The Original dpb5! 11-07-03 11:07:03 PM EST....WTMHouston
At 9:27 p.m., Phil was about 10 hours 2 minutes off. You were 10 hours 56 minutes off. All of this assumes that my tired and PWI mind has not miscalculated any of this -- not necessarily a safe assumption.
Of course, if three out of four posts do not exist then we have not really hit 1700000 yet and I would likely be the real winner in a couple days.
Edit: Matt and Bob need to get on the ball. How dare their speel chucker not recognize "slimily."
