Title: 5 & 5000

Precisely five years and 5000 posts ago I joined this forum. It has been a smooth ride and the journey continues. Thanks, everyone!

Where's a picture of an elephant on a toilet when you need one?

Alex, I'm grateful for your knowledge and patience, and your obvious love of music.  Gracias!

How long have you been planning that?  Nice going.

I wish I had half the knowledge of details that you do.

Thanks also for your generous spirit in helping so many people.

When do you turn 50?

Someone should take all his posts and index the words to see what word he said most in those 5K posts.

In a previous web site I made...for searching, it created an index that simply listed all words and what articles they appeared in.  It wouldn't be tough for me to index it with my perl script if I had a document with all his posts, lol.  Wonder what word it would be.

Well, I'm closing in on 1500 posts and I'm about six months shy of 5 years...in a lot of those posts I was asking Alex "How do you do...?" So, Alex, thanks for all the help!

The most significant factor that encouraged my move to MC, and now single factor that keeps me, is the absolutely extraordinary support forum and how closely the developers listen to its members.  Well done Alex.

I take it there were a few days of silence and will be a few more just to keep that cool 5,000 posts.

Maybe when I hit 2,000 I should stay silent for a month.

Actually, I noticed the coincidence only a couple of days ago when I changed something in my forum profile. I had then 4994 posts so it was not difficult to send the #5000 at the desired time.

There's the screenshot for that. As said, the journey continues...  5001...

It's where it has always been (In the thread (http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=34537.0) where Senator Stevens downloaded the Internet and you swallowed the universe...)
