To those of you who suffer from posting envy, get over it. I've seen a lot of posts celebrating 'my 1,000th post' and such. Whoopie! Who cares? Every posting here is unique, and each stands or falls on its own merits. Whether it is the 1st post, or the 100,000th post, each stands alone. If you have something to say to our community of geeks, post it. If you think you are all alone in the world, and that no one could possibly be interested in what you have to say, post it. You may be very surprised at how many responses you receive. I'm not a programmer - I'm an engineer who also programs - yet I have found a community of peers here, among a million plus programmers who are closer, and more important to me than my local "friends." There are people who visit this site who know me better than my own family, and I must admit that some of them I care more for than my own brood. I can't thank Chris, et al, enough for creating this community. Maudlin thoughts, I know, are not fun, but that's the sort of mood I'm in on this occasion. So to celebrate my 15,000th post I'd like to close by saying "Thank You" to all for welcoming me as a peer, and to those million or so who never have anything to say, please introduce yourselves. I'd like to count you as friends, too! "If it's Snowbird season, why can't we shoot them?" - Overheard in a bar in Bullhead City
Here's to 15,000 more. I have this following quote from you hanging in my cube. It always gets a chuckle from people. Oddly noone ever asks who Roger Wright is. "The key to good organization [is to] throw everything away every Friday. At least 90% of the paper that lands on your desk is garbage from people with too much time on their hands looking for some way to justify their continued employment. If you trash anything really important, you'll get another copy next week." :beer: BW The Biggest Loser

I'd be interested to know how many posts I've done in the various forums. I suspect I have a higher proportion of "fluff" posts in the Lounge/Soapbox/My Blog than I do in the programming forums.

... And a nice number it is too. As for posting envy, it's more like "Where the hell did this guy find so much time to post!" envy. I'm barely past 2000 and it took me almost 2 years to get here. Oh well, Congrats on the high posts, and good luck with the boat. :)

Rob Manderson wrote: Give me a thousand people with engineering backgrounds over one programmer! Amen! It's great fun to have so much varied technical knowledge - I couldn't have picked a better degree! For those who are cursed with an insatiable thirst for knowledge I highly recommend an engineering education. Just don't count on steady work. BTW - I'm about to create a stir at work. The mechanics there have a serious superiority complex because they're "certified." Yesterday I took 4 of the dozen tests required for certification and passed them all without even breathing heavy. By next week I expect to be fully certified as a Yamaha Technician. It should cause a few waves when I hang the certificate in the Parts Department.:-D Next stop - Mercury Certified Marine Mechanic... just for grins.:cool: "If it's Snowbird season, why can't we shoot them?" - Overheard in a bar in Bullhead City

Very few of those posts were in a programming forum. I'm not a good enough programmer to be very helpful to others, though there have been times when an answer just leapt into my head and helped to solve someone's problem. Most of my time here is spent in the Lounge and the OS/SysAdmin forum. For me, most of CP's value lies in having access to intelligent, educated peers. I have none where I live.
