My guess is that the mods are blocking his IP. Those rat bastards. š

**Rufus** mate! - thanks for informing us of that sighting of **handy**. I am relieved that heās still alive, and I feel much better informed about his apparent artlessness.
(What I mean is, his non-appearance is quite artful, and Iām sure he monitors this thread daily.)
As we say down under - what a ratbag!
And the longer he stays away, the harder it will be ever to to return. hehehe, caught in his own trap!

PS Just to clarify and avoid ill-feeling, āratbagā is usually derogatory, but often conveys an element of affection or admiration. Itās that australian thing.
PPS as usual, **Anthracite** is right in all sheās said here.

Today.
I just wanted to lurk for awhile so I could see how much time I use on the board, besides I canāt see the picture if Iām in the frame. I also hung out at Fathomās forum which was fun.
But the impending board clean-up saturday has me a bit nervous, so I better put in my 10,000th post while I still can š

Oh Huzzah!
Soā¦what happens now?
I was wondering if you were saving it all up in order to say something deeply profound.
So when will you reach 20,000?

The irony is touching.
The birds are singing, the sun is shining (here, anyway), andthe counter flipped oer. The boards did not explode, the apocalypse is not upon us.

D@mned preview. That first line _should_ have read:
The irony _that he posted his 10K post in the thread about his 10K post_ is touching.
So should we guess again after the mass purge and archiving?
