I was dimly aware that I was approaching 2,000 posts, not that I really attach too much importance to these things. Anyway I just checked and it appears that this will be my 2,009th :smack: So, er, somewhere in the past day or so was my 2,000th post… and I didn’t even notice. I’d like to think it was something really important and worthwhile, but it was probably just bitching about [ugly vehicles](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=276915) or something. Ho hum. ---

I was 100 posts or so past 2000 when I realized I had passed 2000. ---

I just worked out, my 10,000th is about 210 days away, if I keep up the rate. That doesn’t seem right! ---

I’ve blown straight through all of my milestones save the 1,000th - Gazoo set up a thread for me back when we could set up threads. Personally, I think it’s better that way - what you should be paying attention to is your sign-up date. I post far too many worthless, intelligence-sucking posts to make my post count meaningful in any possible way. But my sign-up date indicates I’ve absorbed or at least been \*near \* a good deal of wisdom for quite a while. ---

I hit big 300 a couple days ago. Woo hoo! Kilopost Klub, here I come! Whaddaya mean there’s no Kilopost Klub? Well, there ought to be. I didn’t come up with that name for nothin’. ---

It’s another thing spendin time on the Boards. Some people sign up and visit maybe once a month. ---

Since most of my posts are made up of rambling on, blathering, inane nonsense, I don’t keep up with my post count. -swampbear (putting the **MPS** in MPSIMS
