The Big 50 or should I say 5000... [modified*2]
-
Very cool! I'd like to hope I've contributed (given) as much as I've listened (received). I sure have gotten a ton from this place. I'll never forget my reason for registering was to use Chris's grid for commercial work. He wasn't curious, cautious, tentative or anything else. Chris, "Sure go ahead and use it. I wish you the best." I remember that I had just spent some several hours going over his code and thinking, "As fine a tool as this is, and for him to give it to a guy who just registered today and for him to respond personally...." Well I thought, "That is cool. I'm sticking around to see what else I can find. I'll never know what happened to the work I did with the grid control. I kind of think it got sniped and is more or less living in with someone else getting all the credit with my former employer but oh well. It's on their heads I guess. I know I'm still here and with 5000 posts to prove it I have to say that it feels good. I feel like I've worked hard to hit 5000. I feel like I've tried to make it fun for many, serious for few and very open and approachable for many. So here is to CP, a great 20007 and hopefully 5000 more post before I have to try and think of more stuff to say.:-D:rose::cool:

Subject: Retail Version...I could be using this and very shortly to build a retail
grid control for private consumption. It will be consumed
entirely by a large manufacturing company and possibly
sold later on the web. I expect that your code will be
about 5%-10% of total source when done I would provide
the other 90%. Do you have any problems with this? Do I
have your permission? You can have a free license to the
binary if you wish :).Best Regards,
Totally Cool!**

Wow. I'm only just a little over halfway to 100. At this rate, I'll be 90 by the time I've caught up with you. :) Congratulations! :rose:
