Four THOUSAND posts. Actually, this is #4,001.

I wonder how much, hour for hour, my employer has paid me to be on the SDMB. It’s gotta be a lot by now.

Woo hoo! I’m only 6 or 7 thousand posts behind the leaders.

No party for you until you apologize for slamming Peart in that Rush thread.

I didn’t slam Peart. I slammed Rush and their lyrics. It’s the rule of flaming; you can flame the lyrics but not flame the lyricist. 🙂

Oh…um, alright…You sure you don’t want to slam him just a _bit_?😛

Curiously, ‘been there, done that’ is Peart’s standard response for why Rush no longer does 20 minute epic songs.

I heard Rush was from as far north as you can be. What are they… Minnesotan?  
Congratulations Pokey.
