Congratulations Lindsay. Posts #1 and #1000!

Indeed, I thought it fitting that Lindsay take the 1,000th.

 

[JohnK]

With 20 posts in the last 24 hours it could happen tomorrow!!

Just as well you are not a betting man.

What a clever, cunning and fitting finale to this thread. Or is it?

 

[JohnK]

I don't think I know anyone who does this. Who are you referring to?

Let's see if I can eliminate some people.... Not me.

Did Kiwi Flyer stop at 1000 posts? (Even though he's from the LOTLWC)

Did you (JohnK) stop at 1000 posts (Even though you've a single figure handicap)

Did NM stop at 1000 posts? (Even thought his FT friends call him Nellie))

Did Dave Noble stop at 1000 posts? (Even though he deigns not to post to this thread)

Did Mal stop at 1000 posts? (Even though he is from AUS_ on another forum)

Did oz_mark stop at 1000 posts? (Even thought he is from the westlands)

Did Yada Yada stop at 1000 posts? (Even thought Peter flew OzJet )

Did straightman stop at 1000 posts? (Even thought Bill flys Helicopters)

How about serfty, Yada Yada and straitman.

No... onwards I say ...

It took a lot of coercion to get it to 1,000 posts. Anymore posts could cause a great deal of instability creating a black hole big enough to drag the whole of AFF into it.

Back O?(?) Topic

So you would recommend joining THE BUS LOUNGE.....

Actually, the quite salubrious lounge was provided by one rather famous stallwart of this website and I'm sure ones eligibily for attendance is quite at the discretion of the same aforementioned stallwart. In this regard the adverb joining one deems not to be appropriate.

In comparison, the transit lounge I had to endure betwixt the NM sector and the (egad) DJ sector I subsequently undertook was populated by an eclectic group of beings. In such an unusual circumstance, knowing one would not hear a gate call from that particular transit lounge for my upcoming sector one had to depart it far earlier than one is accustomed.

Congratulation Lindsay on being the only 1 and 1000 poster of the same thread within this forum.

You have been a great stalwart of this forum and you have watched it graw from a baby with a few posts per week to 100's per week.

Well done and may all your future posts be as fun/relevent/illuminating as your previous posts.

Rgds,

Ross.

Wow, 13 AFF members accounted for 965 of the posts in this thread.

You must all have too much time on your hands Although seeing as I went to the trouble of adding that up, you can see what sort of day I am having

Hmm, what does that say about the silly old fool that determined the counts in the first place .

Not really. NM being a moderator posted the individual post count including deleted posts.

I don't think that is the case. The replies link gives a higher count for Lindsay Wilson for example.

So why didn't you tell me about the "replies" link before I filled an A4 page with tally marks and looking at all 100+ pages of responses .

At least my tally was close for most of the posters .
