It took over 18 years to get here.

Wouldn’t you count up to 6000?
I thought we weren’t allowed to do post count announcements on this site. 
Compared to my posting history, you are an absolute chatterbox.
I’m right behind you. (Actually, not really. At my current posting rate, I’ll hit 6,000 posts in two years or so. At that point, my SDMB account should be old enough to drink alcohol legally.) 
I seem to be pretty consistent. It took me 3-1/2 years to reach 1,000 posts.
