Labor Day Weekend - Lets look at some of the Hardest Working AR Members

Here are some interesting thoughts...   As of today, here are the top 10 point earners here at ActiveRain. 

Let us look at the breakdown:

• Four out of the ten are from Florida, currently there are 5,786 members from Florida. 
• Florida is by far the most competitive of all the states!
• Together the Top ten have written a total of 4,239 posts!!!
• The top 10 is equally divided between the men and women --  5 Women/5 Men!
• Six out of the ten joined in July 2006!
• Two of the have lost a significant amount of weight since joining ActiveRain -- guess they didn't have time to eat, too busy writing!
• 3 of the Highest point earners are also in the Top 10 All time Most Subscribed and two are in the top 20!
• Seven out of the ten are Real Estate Agents, Two are Brokerages and one is a vendor company
• One is a Moderator for ActiveRain
• Two have spouses with ActiveRain Accounts as well!
