    Toot Toot!

    I don't mean to blow my own horn but I think this is a milestone worth commemorating.

    That is an impressive amount

    I think it might be less than 14 years, as the reputation system may well have been added after you joined.

    I once thought of you as one of the "new" people.....long ago, that was. I didn't think of myself as one of the old hands, at that time, either. The old hands could remember the great server crash.

    I'm more impressed by the: Posts 101,948

    Way back when - breaking 1,000 was considered noteworthy. Then the bar got moved to 10,000.

    My favorite say when people hit these types of marks-> "Now go out and get a life."

    In his case, I would say, "go out and get some sleep." More than one time, I've seen John on here at times that were clearly inappropriate for Australia.

    That's approx 20 posts per day, every day, for 14 years! That deserves some sort of permanent recognition for services above and beyond.....
