At the rate I am posting, I figure in one year, I may (may) join that heady group of people with 10,000 or more posts. Of course, in that year, that group will move on to 20,000 or more posts, making me still far in back. But this is a start! One of my posts must of been deleted as this should NOW be my 2000th post!
Now that is what I call a good use of your 998th post! Okay, now I can go about my business and not worry about post count until I get close to 5,000. That way I do not have to bug everyone each time I move up another 1000 posts.
