Default 5000th post, I need help

I thought RCU was kind of boring when I first started. Now I'm at post #5000. Yikes, this is addicting. Oh well I have learned a lot, thanks to all for sharing the knowledge. The little bickering we do here gets to be a bit much but hey that's what people do. So that's ok too.

Cheers !!

Aren't we both in deep doo doo ... I must say this place is really good and I have made many friends here but there are some real jerks here too as with any other place. Still there are much more nicer people here than lamers.

Hmm... 5000 posts, average 5 min per post makes 25000 minutes or 416 hours... at 40 hours/week that's a full time job for 10.4 weeks or 2 1/2 months (with no breaks or lunch hours)... ZOW!!

Thanks for your noteworthy contribution to what has become one of my daily "must visit" sites. [sm=thumbup.gif][sm=thumbup.gif]

Congrats!

Wow you're just ahead of me, please STAY ahead of me!! Yeah I wouldn't be here if it weren't such a cool place to learn and share info. Learning is addicting.

Yeah Jo, I am about to step away right after this next post (I hope).

I guess I don't feel too bad, ever since I could walk I looked at the stuff in hobby shops with awe. I thought to myself, "man I gotta do that". Well it was just a matter of time. Like I said I learned a lot here, it's a ton o' fun.

As far creating a 5000 and over club, no way. I want the newbees to see what can happen to them if they get hooked. [sm=bananahead.gif][sm=drowning.gif]

I probably will never come close to that mark. I did notice that my profile has over 5000 hits on it so I guess that there must be some out there that find my paltry number of posts interesting.

Anything I'm involved with gets out of hand, it's just the nature of things.
