This is my 300th post since the terrible :eek: _Gap._ There were a few before that, but the less said about _them_ the better.

In 300 posts I’ve been right a few times (at least I think so), wrong a bunch of times, applauded (well, supported), vilified, and ignored. I’ve done more lurking than posting, and some of the stuff you guys write is brilliant. Before I started reading and writing on the Boards I thought I was pretty smart. I’ve discovered that some of you really _are_ smart. I’m old (well, getting old) but I’m learning.

My apologies to those posters who have caught me in being a pompous ass. I’ll try to do better, but I can’t promise anything. It’s genetic. 😃

I LOVE THE SDMB!!

I don’tknow what volume counts for, really. I just wanted to mark a mile post. I hope as I go along that my content improves as fast as my post count.

Congrats, **Nenya\_Elizabeth** , on your first century. Is this not an awesome place? 😃

Thanks to you, too **Violet.** Rest assured that I’m staying out of the pool from now on. 😉
