How many letters and do you have any placed?

[Jackdaw33]

Could be around (of golf)

[dannyk13]

Around looks good.

The stats for the OP make interesting reading, especially the badges.

[dannyk13]

A badge for each year of membership (2 yrs) but only one question.As you say 'interesting'.

[fiction-factory]

I thought everyone got 2 to start them off- but I've just checked and found I've got 0 so I must be wrong. I've no idea what their point is.

[dannyk13]

FF I think the point is that Delores has been a member for two years and today's question is the first.

[fiction-factory]

I think there are probably quite a few people who join and look in but don't post. I used to look in before I joined but got fed up of my screen being covered by a big box asking me to sign in, so I joined and continued to look in for a bit before I posted

[Jackdaw33]

FF, you have only been a member for 7 months under your current user name.

[dannyk13]

He has been a member under a previous user name.

[Jackdaw33]

Exactly my point. Factorfiction has 5 badges.

I hope you now have your answer to 13 a, Delores.
I hope you've not been put off by this speculation. Apologies for any part I may have had in this thread going off track.
