Any one have any ideas how for how I could do a special OP for 1000 posts? Other than “Postcount ++ Wo0t!!”. ---

That’s true. I want to give myself time to gather and orgainize, check grammar and spelling etc. so I get a magnum opus of a OP :D. ---

I dunno. You may plan, you may lay out the entirity of your posting career to come with all the finesse, discipline and strategic brilliance of the finest, battle-seasoned general, or one adept at the ways of chess amidst the masters … … only to have your 1000th post come upon you with the suddenness of an express train … … and the sum total of that monumental post, so anticipated, so prominent in the mind of the tactitical doper … is … _“Me, too!”_ 😃 ---

Yeah. Ignore post counts. They don’t mean much. Not if you’re really here to fight ignorance, anyway. Just MHO. Take it for what its worth to you. ---

Yeah, I will usally ignore them. I do, however want to do something special for a thousandth post, hopefully fighting ignorance in it. I can’t think of anything though. Any suggestions would be great. ---

Since you’ve got a while to go, how about some sort of pattern in your posts culminating then? Say, an evolving sig, or acrostic posts. ---

I do know what a acrostic is, but I don’t quite understand what you mean. Could you elaborate? ---

I meant that the first letter of your next 514 posts would spell out a message. I don’t that’s a good idea in itself, but it was an example of something you could do that would end at 1000. ---

I get it. I think, though, I would do it over 10-15 posts. Thanks. ---
