With my post count hitting 100,000, I thought it might be time to look back...
My first thread started was a fairly detailed guide/warning about SSD partition alignment on Lion 10.7.3. I think the alignment issues were fixed in 10.8 at some point, but I can't be sure.

Some of the more popular threads that I've started are those that are now stickies in the laptop forum:
http://www.tonymacx86.com/el-capitan-laptop-support/
The laptop Clover guide there is one of the more popular (359,601 reads) and is probably linked from countless other posts.
On top of that, I've been involved in a number of key kexts, Probook Installer, Clover, written/maintained quite a few ACPI patches, kernel patches, and have also written several guides, some for laptops that I don't even own...
I'm surprised that the FAQ is not read more often (76,074) and probably helps to explain the sheer volume of posts from me. Many of my posts, of course, refer to the FAQ and Clover guide, as many neglect to read the stickies and instead ask questions that are already answered.
Which results in responses such as...
Or the ever popular post:
Or a slight variation:
You get the idea...
I have a few more guides planned (time allowing), and plan to enhance/clarify the existing guides (perhaps a self-troubleshooting section in each one). Hopefully, people will actually read them before asking questions...
Now that we have 100k discussion out of the way, on to 100,001.
