10,000th post

[Keef]

So here it is. 10,000 posts on the EDF (plus a few unregistered ones). This is what comes of losing all motivation in a job, but staying for a couple of years, then getting a new job, with lots of time to "work" from home.

Quite strange to think that when this forum started, I was neither married, or a dad. How things change!

Not sure what else to say. On the one hand, I feel a bit sad (in the "get a life" way) to be the first here. On the other, I am proud, as this forum, for all it's faults, is for the most part, a good thing. Besides, I did most of my posting during work time, so as to leave evenings for having a life! :)-D

So, cheers to everyone on the EDF, thanks for making me laugh, thanks for making me furious, thanks for making those office hours go by quicker.

I knew a couple of posters before (Piers being the only one who posts regularly these days, unless CrystalClear gets drunk and fancies letting off some steam in the early hours), but I have met some quality people through this here forum, a couple of whom I now count amongst my bezzie pals! For that, if nothing else, it has all been worth it.

Hurrah!!!! :)-D

We are, quite simply, not worthy!!!

However did you find the time? Bet you couldn't find the time NOW though. Congrats. Nice one. Px

Amazingly, you can read every word here, right now, prior to publication, for free:

All 10k posties!

Better than War and Peace.

I just looked and now it's 10,004 which looks a bit awkward.

Did you ever think of retiring at 10,000?

Hasten to add I'm glad you didn't.

Good work fella.

I was going to start a29999" thread, and post "Over to you Sean", and see if I could stay off the forum til Sean made the 10000. Sean then started the thread about my being close to 10000, so I thought the gesture would look empty ;-)

[CrystalClear]

congrats.

[mockney piers]

Unusually polite from you CC ;-P

[Mark]

Congratulations Keef, and by pure coincidence the number of registered users on the forum is currently exactly 10,000.

[georgia]

Well done Keef >:D<

10 000 registered users as well, that's pretty impressive

[????]

and only 399 of them are Felicity

[annaj]

Hurrah for Keef!

The place wouldn't be the same without you x

I think it's a pretty safe bet that in 860 posts time when Sean has proved he's as much a man as Keef and the congats and back slapping come flowing forth, Sean will literally be bowing to his computer.

Congratulations, Keef - one of my first and finest forum friends.

[Keef]

Aw, thanks Moos. I kept hold of that crush too, just for sentimental value :))

[SteveT]

First forumista to say something positive and praiseworthy to me.

I look forward to the next 10K. Keef.
