10,000 - Diez Mil - Ten Large - 10K - 10 Gees

StewartG · 11-30-2007

Some people might say that getting to 10,000 posts on an internet forum is a complete and utter waste of time...
Hmmmm... Let’s see...

Along the way, I’ve made some great friends, gotten into some terrific arguments, gotten some fantastic travel tips, made a second home for my family "south of the border," found some great restaurants, drank an awful lot of beer and tequila, and... Did I mention the friends?

Friends... Hell, more like family to me! Sounds hokey but its true. I’ve been involved in many internet communities over the years, but this crazy place is the closest to an internet family I’ve ever seen! There are joys, celebrations, debates, romances, weddings, tragedies, beginnings, endings... Did I mention the debates?

Long story short, I really would like to put out a heartfelt thanks to the Pope and Queen, James and Anna, as well as all the other mods and caretakers that keep this place chugging along. You guys are awesome and SERIOUSLY overworked and underappreciated!
So back to the original question - was it all a big waste of time?

. . .

Ask me again at 20K!

my theory on wasted time....... if you enjoyed it, it wasn't wasted

my alternate theory on wasted time...if you are too wasted to remember it, was it really time in the first place

Congrats on the 10,000. At my current pace, I should get there sometime in the next 20-30 years

Jacko · 11-30-2007

Thanks for the memories!

and, as sctx says....it sure beats TV!

mastequilapf · 11-30-2007

Congrats Stewart on your 10 large...that is quite an accomplishment. You are a very well respected peep to whom many look up. This community would not be the same without you.

At 36% of the way there, I don't think it's a waste of time at all...hell I don't think I'd have gotten this far if I thought it was.

And to continue what SCTX said and Jacko repeated, there are many times when Mrs. Mastequilapf is watching TV and i'm on here, if that says anything...

Oh and by the way, I was on a train between Boston and Providence a couple of weeks ago and saw a guy that was a spitting image of you...maybe your evil twin? Seriously, I had to do a triple take. If I had had my camera at that point, I would have taken a pic and posted it.

jamesblonde · 11-30-2007

How's it that I started before you, (remember the crash) and you hit 10,000 before me???? Oh that's right. I'm a realtor..........you're an attorney

We have to work extra hard for our money

Congrats on the big 10k. See ya next year

lolabella · 11-30-2007

Congrats Stewart on 10,000 posts!!!

You've added a tremendous amount personality to this board and I'm so glad to be one of those Peeps that has had the chance to met you in person. I've had the opportunity to share in the tequila, beer, and fine restaurants with you!! Not to mention one fun road trip!! Oh yes..and the divng too!!

Had it not been for this board, I would have never met you and shared in those fun times and made new friends through you!

Congrats again!! Looking forward to seeing you again in Feb!!
