As I was browsing through the statistics, I noticed we're about to have a significant anniversary. Several others have had this same anniversary, but it has gone unnoticed, as best as I can recall. I'm going to remedy that, right now.

tilly is about to celebrate his 500th post!

I've taken this opportunity to generate the statistics of the number of days at the monastery (defined by your Last here date minus your Since date), divided by the number of posts (for any number of posts above 0), ordered by that average. 

mysql> SELECT Name, 
              Writeups,
              DATE_FORMAT(Since,"%Y-%m-%d") AS Since,
              TO_DAYS(LastOn)-TO_DAYS(Since) AS NDays,
              WriteUps/(TO_DAYS(Laston)-TO_DAYS(Since)) AS Average 
         FROM UserInfo 
        WHERE WriteUps/(TO_DAYS(LastOn)-TO_DAYS(Since)) > 0
     ORDER BY Average DESC
        LIMIT 25;
