I just did an "ls" listing of all the message directories, where there is one file for each posting, and counted them:
trublue% ls wwwboard*/messages | wc
100445 100357 1110138
the first number is total number of files in all the directories, subtract about 100 for the directories themselves.
This includes followups, etc. If I factor out MoparNorm and Judd's postings it's down to about 47,000.
I think there really are that many posts!
I can email you the details if you care, but yeah, there are about 1200 per forum, roughly speaking.
