Man of a 1,000 posts

Thank you, granitz. I'll try to justify your confidence.

20.

Steve, your service here has been most admirable. We all owe you a great debt of gratitude for the time you put in here, helping others. And you keep coming back for more...

I will be moving this week, as I had earlier stated. And though and am a long way behind the Dynamic Duo (Steve & Rick), I am, largely thanks to their prestige and influence, now styled "super." So here is my own #200..I am not sure I will get back here this week, but I shan't be gone too long; of that you may be sure.

Chatter,

200 is a big deal. A VERY BID DEAL. Of the non-paid members, you are in the top 3. I think Sara might have changed that status level to recognize your efforts. Good luck on the move. I'm sure Steve and I can keep this place entertaining until your return.

Yes, Steve, you are appreciated around here. You're the guy who can always find the answers, and who sticks around in spite of lots of frownie icons on Monday mornings and occasionally being accused of clandestinely working for AS. When you find something worthy of your 1000th post, you'll do it. But...I'm sure we all hope you don't stay away too long, and no guarantees I won't try the Jimmy Hoffa thing....

Chatter, good luck on your move! I just moved to my present home 8 months ago, after 18 years in one place. Uprooting is tough. I agree with Rick that 200 posts is a very big deal, and I'd like to observe that your posts are always of a very high quality. Hurry back -- you'll be missed.

Fordfalcons, thanks to you and Chatter both for your kind words. You apparently wonder why it is I keep coming back for more of the grumpy icons. If you knew what I once did for a living you'd understand a lot more about me. Let's just say it's an ingrained habit.

To all: I don't intend to hold back so that I can pick and choose what I write about for post #1,000. It'll come when it comes, and it'll probably be something mundane like "you forgot about the bid increment at that level."
