200th post - a milestone

When I first joined up as a member at SDMB, I didn’t know what to expect. I’ve been an Internet user for around 10 years and have explored many a forum over the years. However, on review of many of the threads, I found this to be by far the most civilized, informed, informative, and helpful collection of people I had ever found on the 'Net. So I joined.

I’m now sitting at 1.17 posts per day, meaning to me that the SDMB is now a little part of my everyday life. I enjoy checking in to see what other people are talking about, learn about topics that I never would have thought about until someone else asked, and find answers to my own questions. I’ve started a few threads, a couple of which have gone “bump” in the night, a couple of which have not really addressed to completion my interest in the matter, and many which have helped me to understand things that I formerly did not and others that helped me to formulate new opinions. I’ve also made several posts that I wish I hadn’t, the result being that I’ve become convinced that I must hook up a breathalyzer to my computer so that it won’t let me post if I’ve been out drinking.

Anyway, I just figured that I ought to mark the occasion of my 200th post with some kind of rambling about my experience here. Y’all are great. Thanks for being out there and enriching my life.

Oh, and I must point out that I wish I’d known when registering that spaces and capitals were allowed. The capital ‘M’ is by luck, as I just happened to type it that way. It has always annoyed me that “Morkfromork” reads like a word, when really it should read “Mork From Ork” or at least, “MorkFromOrk”.

Holyl chit :eek:

2000 since January?

Wow.

I don’t know what my average per day is, never figured it out. Only been here about three weeks.

200 since Jan…you got an extra zero in there. C’mon…I DO have a life! :stuck_out_tongue:

Eilsel: click on the button ‘profile’ below your post. You’ve got a whopping 20.85 posts per day.

Congrats, MFM. I’ve already sped past you, due to a little addiction to this place, that thankfully is loosening its hold on me. I want that thing you call a life as well! :wink:

Oh, and Eilsel, I couldn’t help reading the rest of your profile as well. If I interpret it correctly, I see you have a darling son (ds) and a darling daughter (dd). Then, you also have a darling Og! :eek:

What, I’m not allowed to have a little fun with a newerbie?

:smack: DOH! I thought it was 2000 LOL

Now I really feel…I dunno…I’m gonna take my og and my laptop and go sit behind my rock now…

:cool:

You think 2000 since January’s a lot, go take a look at Q.E.D.'s post count. (Sorry, sorry, it’s just that it’s higher than 2000 posts.)

Happy 200, Morkfromork!

Oh, watch out for this place – I’ve gotten more addicted as time passes!

Congratulations Mork! I just recently passed this one myself and after a whole year, boy am I glad!! :stuck_out_tongue: Keep on postin’!

Congrats Morkfromork! I shall now proceed to do my congratulatory back-pat…

pat pat

Congrats Morkfromork!! I hope to join you there soon, with my paltry 0.28 posts per day. Just think, then you have 250, 500 … soon you’ll be among the posters with 1000+!

You know, when I first joined, I had aspirations of living up to Q.E.D.'s standards.

But alas, I went M.I.A. for over 4 weeks, and now I have a lot of catching up to do.

I’ll get you yet, Q.E.D.!
