Yeah, 400 posts already...

I definitely have to say that I appreciate everyone on this forum for their views, lively debates, and "interesting" approaches to things.

I think I can find someone to have a drink with almost anywhere I go now. And if I need something reduced to component atoms, I'm sure that Blast would be there with a smile.

Also, a big thank you for Doug for his wonderful site. It is great that he keeps in touch with all of us. That is commitment!

Now on to more posting...

Only 400?!!! You are just getting broke in here. I'm coming up on 2,800 now and I am still junior to many.

Keep em coming Mike.

Glad you're only at 400. This place is addictive, and they're all shameless enablers.

Every minute spent here is not spent perfecting my bowdrill fire technique. Lots of smoke and blisters. No fire.

You have been warned. :-)

You've been here since 4/4/2007 and are at post 400. I have been here since 11/1/2008 and I think this is post 726. Who should be worried about the amount of time spent here?????

400....

Was I ever at 400? Wow, I can't even remember that number.

How many am I on? Plus the however many from my first profile that was lost in a server failure and a way to busy semester....

Mike, you've got nothing to worry about. *laughs*

I have no idea how many posts I have - I often lurk for LONG periods of time (and used to be worse) - been a member a lot longer than some who have much higher post counts

Mmmm.... beer...

I'll buy if you make it out to the Philly area. Only fair.

Yeah, I've been a member since '07, but only REALLY got into posting lately.

Hmmm... ironic how I'm getting more outdoor time since I've been married... That says something there that I'm just not quite grasping... wink

Post #425 - Been here since November 10, 2003.

I lurk a lot and only post things that are within what I consider my "domain" of expertise (used loosely...). The one great thing is that unlike a lot of other places, I can only think of about 3 to 5 threads in 5 years that degraded to name calling.

I'll be around. smile

I seem to have a lot of posts in a short while, but I don't expect to be on the site long before I leave again and as a result of that I am trying to get as much of it as I can now.

Not sure yet, just back to the regular work.
When I am working I don't have much time for playing on the computer, or much access to one.

Yeah, I was excited about 500. But like some others, I only try and comment if I can add something useful. Rarely to I do a "+1" type of post.

I think OBG does win... amazing he gets that much access in such a transitory lifestyle! Course, being Old, he probably has more free time on his hands wink

Geez Mike, NOW you mention the free beer in Philly. Where were you in June?

MacBook. If my three teenagers can't break them (software wise), nothing can. However, a 20oz cup of coffee will take one out like a head shot.

I was going to say only 400?
But its quality, not quantity that counts.

I just realized that today I also reached the 400th post milestone. It took me about 1-1/2 years and I must admit that at times, I never thought I would stick around this long.

I have learned a lot from all people here and have also made a few friends off line as a result of of this forum. In return, I hope that I have made some useful contributions to this forum.
