I’ve only seen a couple of Dopers with those numbers - but, at my posting rate, I should be there in about one year. ---

I would, but I don’t want to risk hitting 70 posts before I’m ready. Wouldn’t want to lose the 0.05 posts per day average I’ve got going. ---

If I can find somebody with 4500 posts to go in on it with me that’d make one. ---

Blast. I completely misread the OP. Didn’t catch that the 10,000+ refered to post count, rather than raw number of members. ---

Hey, just think about it this way: those post counts to the left there go up every time you post anywhere on SDMB. So even though your count may have yet to roll over to 10000, the longer this thread stays active the higher your count can appear in this thread. It’s like you get to watch the future unfold, as if that won’t happen anyway. FWIW mine was 453 before I posted this. ---

**Libertarian** ’s in the 10K club, with around 12,500 posts right now. Last I checked, **iampunha** was 17 posts away from the big 10K. So maybe by the end of the day… ---
