We're going to hit that sometime in the next 24 hours; I remain amazed. You lads and lassies are outstanding. Almost 1,000 members as well.

I can't promise the forty-thousandth poster anything significant, but you WILL be recognized.

Thank you all, for all of this. It - and you - are magnificent; I just provided the venue - you make this what it is.

Default Costs ?
Geoff,

I see that when 'a magic number of hits' was recorded on the MAD forum a bunch of popups started.

Are we in any danger of that happening to us?

Nope, we're protected from that crap. This is a private venture, on a privately-leased server.

They only know those two numbers...

If we added up PMs, I have a feeling we'd have twice this much activity. Of course, I'M innocent, but I can't say the same for and some of you OTHER chatty-cathies...

So we'll expect a flurry of almost meaningless posts until the milestone has been reached...

Amazing what happens once a responsible adult hits the DO NOT POST HERE key, isn't it?

Alex,

I was steered wrong by a computor about those numbers, and besides, my brother is the accountant in the family.

One of the few pleasures left for me when I travel is the Air Canada Maple Leaf lounge full of Stella ... luckilly no AC flight has taken off on time since Canadian went belly up ...glub, glub. I suppose that its OK since I seldom get to fly the puddle jumper down to Maryland.

Hey, Tonner...

How come you're listed as a Moderator sometimes, then other times as an Author & Historian? Hmmm???
