As of a few minutes ago, I have now collected exactly 1,200 recordings of different concerts by a U.S. band called the Grateful Dead whose performing career ended in 1995. That's more or less 50% of all the shows they ever performed. By this time tomorrow the number will be about 1,208.
The question for debate is: does anyone have any similar compulsions or obsessions tomine in statistically comparable terms, sheer anorakery, thin air obscurity or extraordinary dedication?

Surely spending time in this forum beats that hands down?
869 divided by (12 x 5) = 14.48
I think others will have a higher OPQ.
Yours twhitehead is 727/66 = 11.02
Anyone else?
