As a two year veteran of lurking, I find I must quote someone who was far more brilliant than I: “'Tis better to be silent and be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt.” _Lazlo ducks and covers_ ---

Hä Hä - I have learned something, and it only took a thousand posts! And thanks to **wring** for giving me an excuse to look down my nose at those with a larger post count, as well as you contemptible filth with a lesser. Now if I could only figure out this Java crap, my plans for world domination will be complete. Regards, Shodän ---

Sorry, **Shodan** , Starbucks has you beat when it comes to the “dominate-the-world-through-Java” stuff. [Obligatory Onion Link](http://www.theonion.com/onion3709/starbucks_phase_two.html) Anyway, I’ve got you all beat on posting, when it comes to…uh…er…_glances over a count_…getting closest to 400! Yeah, that’s it! In your face! 😛 ---

Why, no, **Freyr** , didn’t see anything of the sort. A “stash” you say? Not quite sure what that might be… Wow. Have you ever, like, really _looked_ at your hand? It’s really something! Mmmmmm. Haagen-Daz, what a good idea… ---

At least you have had recognition by the Masters of the Universe. The only soul to take note of _my_ hitting 1K was some wacko in lederhosen. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/flame-me-will-you-i-laugh/134708.md?page=2)
