For the record - YES at the time of posting there have been 646 posts

BUT several have not been about counting and so do not count

So using your counting mathematics, it seems the thread has gone astray

Or are you going to count this as 647?

Post counting thread: a thread which counts the number of posts it acquires from all sources. Nowhere is content specified or required. Simple everyday politeness suggests that the number of the post should be included so that posters don't have to keep checking the thread list to find out the number of posts already in the thread. Post what you like, include the post number if you like, ignore the thread if you like, ignore the grumbles from MissPedantic if you like.

And that was 647 and 648, and this is #649.

Hi. If you look back a couple of pages, I too was put in detention for the same error.
I have gathered that the way to have a civil, mildly interesting exchange, with another poster is to include a fact about the designated number that you are 'using'
So...
651 - I know this is divisible by 3, as the digits add to a multiple of 3

652 Jubilatrix is a minor planet, specifically an asteroid orbiting in the asteroid belt.

It's usually possible to find something trivial to entertain our general forum readers. Tricks with the actual number, vintage car model numbers, things significant to your own life. My quick source is to type the number in a wikipedia search box, where you usually get offered something, like this one.

Same could be said about 2*7*47 (658)

659 Nestor /ˈnɛstər/ is a dark Jupiter trojan from the Greek camp, approximately 110 kilometers (68 miles) in diameter. It was discovered on 23 March 1908, by German astronomer Max Wolf at Heidelberg Observatory in southern Germany, and named after King Nestor from Greek mythology.[1][3] The carbonaceous Jovian asteroid belongs to the 20 largest Jupiter trojans and has a rotation period of 15.98 hours.[5]

What would we do without Wikipedia astronomers in this thread? At least the next post might have something.
