This thread will now be utilized to post announcements that you have a certain number of posts. Please simply addend your congratulations (to yourself) about the number of posts you have.

Use this thread to also note how many times you've been thanked if you want to note any odometer changes for that as well.

We don't need any Post Count Grinches here. If you're ambivalent about your own post count or others then remain ambivalent but don't be a party pooper for others.

Congratulations to me. This my 5981st post. I have fulfilled my dream in life. I have always wanted to have 5981 posts. I'm sorry. I'm too emotional right now. Does anyone have a hanky? *honk*

Now you have 5983. I'm sorry that you're dream has come crashing down so quickly.

Funny story, my son James started crying a few months ago when we started talking about his 6th birthday coming up. He said that he "...liked 5..." and that "...5 is deep in my heart...."

I started telling him recently that we weren't going to have a birthday party for him or give him any presents because he doesn't like "6" and now he's changed his tune.

Oh, how I would love to have the problems of a disgruntled 6 year old!

Cute story, Rich.

Rich you should tell James that the Psalmist understood his anguish --Psalm 102:11.

Well, at least I can say I am a "Puritanboard Doctor" now even though I'm a long way from having earned any other kind of doctorate!

Right on your tail, buddy boy.

I think I'll catch your draft and pass you on the final lap.

Now let's see . . . Bill has 5,995 posts since August of 2005. That translates into 171.23 posts per month.

Today Bill made fun of someone I know who is averaging 302.40 posts per month.

That yields a surplus of 131.17 posts per month for said put-downee over said put-downer (Bill).

At the present rate of posting, that means that this heretofore unnamed righteous poster will overtake the billious Bill in exactly . . . hmmmm, well . . . my gracious . . . that soon huh?

Or as Bill says:

Dennis, yeah but I'm still under my posting allotment. I have reduced my posting footprint (although I do offset it by PM's which don't officially count towards my posting stats. Al Gore would be proud).

wow

Oh yeah! Well you can just go to . . . go to . . . go to . . . an Arminian church with a Joel Osteen fan club and a charismatic pastor with a gift of criticism.

Yeow! That's brutal!! You're a tough guy, Dennis. I'm not messin' with you.

I thought I was the only one sad enough to start a thread congratulating myself, but now they're all at it.
