This is it – my 300th post. The only problem is the last 200 or so have been since the resurrection of the Board. I just want to say how much of a pleasure it is hanging out with you people. I am truly in awe of some of you.

Now, back to reality,

I shot past my 1000th without even noticing it. Don’t feel bad. 🙂

Wow, thanks for making me realise that I hit 400 without noticing.  
And about 350 of _mine_ are since the boards been back up.  
So _there._ 😛

I noticed when I posted my 300th last week, but I didn’t think it was worth celebrating. It seems like you have to hit four digits before you’re really part of the club.

Does it count if we say your post count is 0324? (Wishful thinking on my part too!)

Actually I shot past my 1000th post twice, once before the crash and once after. 🙂

Look at it this way – if it were baseball, we’d be doing all right. Nice to see I’m in the same range as some of my favorite posters. Oh, and **Hamish** , thank Matt Mcl again for the limerick – it had me laughing out loud at my computer, and I’m still smiling just thinking of it.

Well, I’d be a bit over 1000 without the board crash, but I figure it just makes the anticipation for my big 4 digit party all the more sweet. (Ok, I’m really not excited at all, but that wouldn’t be much of a story, would it.) I guess I’ve got a bit over a hundred to go.
