If you are like me and just can't wait here goes:

Well I have been racking my brain to connect the post counts with the actual counter to find the 'delta' between the two and after researching all of the posts I found that delta to be 8651

If I am correct this is the winner:

Man, I didn't even make it in the top 9! :D I had one window open to the main page so I could refresh that and watch the counter. I thought that was the official count. I posted on another tab and refreshed the counter tab, and it showed 998. The post before that I just watched was 993. But it was fun!! Jim.

It would make my Volvo (one million miles) and I the winner.

Best one hour of entertainment in a long time.

And all it cost was 6 bucks.
Can't wait till we get close to 2 million.

It was fun. Over a million posts about wood working. That is wonderful. Countless projects, friends made, tools purchased, hints shared. This is a testament to the "hobby" that turns nature into art.

I think you're missing a couple of arctan(x) in there....
