Well, why not? The jury is still out on what the bar will be for post parties, but a small consensus seems to be leaning toward 2,000 posts. So, congrats, **thinksnow**. Congrats for not only attaining 2,000 but also for providing the board with some truly well-considered, intelligent posts. I raise a glass to ye! And for the rest of you heathens, there’s plenty of debauchery to be had! Topless women! Bottomless men! Donkeys! Tequila! Pampers! Ducks! ---

Happy 2000 **thinksnow!** I hope you enjoy your party a great deal. I brought my hot tub, and set it up on the deck. I will, however, be retaining my top thankyouverymuch! 🙂 Scotti Um…ducks? Oh, NEVERMIND…I don’t think I want to know! ---

Wow, thanks, **dan** , though I think you might have me confused with someone else: > [@](#): > > …some truly well-considered, intelligent posts. I think my favorite thing about this board is actually meeting some of the people. I’m gonna talk for a bit, so if you’re just here for some glib-ness, etc, skip on down to the next post (hopefully there will be a next post.) When I first thought about meeting some people I knew fomr online, I was wary. Who wouldn’t be, the only time you ever hear about online meetings is when they go horribly bad. My first meeting was in a jazz-kinda club in Columbus, OH. I met **idiotboy** and saw his band jam some really good ska. A few months later, I met a small group in Michigan. I’ve been to Chicago a few times and Spiffled and Flint and am planning on heading out to Cali this month. See, I move around a lot. I’ve moved, essentially, three times since March 2000 and it’s nice to be able to stay in touch with a large group of people consistantly. Sure, I stay in touch with many friends nationwide, but I certainly don’t have the interaction, the rapport, that I have here. I don’t know if that plays into my like for the board and it’s visitors, or if it’s just the board itself, the banter, exchange of ideas and everything else, but I know I like it. Some Dopers are more dear to me than others. One or two in particular mean very much to me, and that never would have happened through the randomness of meeting in person, but it _did_ happen after meeting here. Anyhoo, I’ve lost my train of thought, which seems to happen a lot these days. 'Course, today is a special day, for I’ve publicly spoken out, somewhat gently, but contrary to the moderation, or specifically, a particular instance of such, of this board. Such is life. Thanks for reading, sorry for rambling. To a certain special someone, I still wish you all the best. ---

Having had the pleasure of meeting you twice now, **think,** I can honestly say that…well, it’s really been a pleasure. And an honor. And I hope we’ll meet again. Congrats, my friend, and I hope you’ll stick around a whole lot longer. Love, Cristi ---

Hey thinksnow, I think I still have half a pink peep, if ya want it…it’s been on the ground though. Seriously…congrats on wasting so much time here and seriously brightening many a day and night for me with your intelligence and wit. I am also lucky to have met you in the flesh, and find you to be a shining example of American masculinity. Now go get laid or whatever ya do for a post party of this calibur. ---

Scotti was wondering about the ducks, but I was wondering about the Pampers… I didn’t know you had a child… or did you have some sort of… um… problem? On second thought, don’t answer, I don’t need to know. 🙂 Anyway, congrats on 2000. ---
