~4000 posts and let's say you can skim a post every 3 seconds, which is probably high considering the number of very short posts in a GDT, but it'll also take page loads into account.
That's 22 minutes.
And if you're an elite internet browser user, you're wheel-clicking (or whatever mouse shortcut) to open each 'Quote' in a new tab so you're not going back and forth all the time. And of course you're using 80 posts/page, because you're not a ****ing Neanderthal.
And I think I counted 71 posts. So, that's 71 copy/paste jobs into a thread, let's say that takes 5 seconds each.
So we're up to 28 minutes.
Out of those 71 posts, 14 have commentary... let's say 20 seconds per comment on average (several are pretty short).
So we're at 32 minutes.
There's also some clicks to create the thread and read it over... a few more minutes.
35 minutes...... then we'll add 10 minutes for any overages.
So, 45 minutes max to put something like this together, easily completed in the time it takes to watch one quarter of football in the background while sipping a nice bourbon or spirit of choice.

You can also save a lot of time by merely doing a thread search for posts by 493rd and Showtime, and then just copying and pasting all of them.
