Congrats Gary! If your keyboard kept count the way the D70 keeps count then you would get a shock at the number of times you have pushed a key. If you knew you then could calculate the amount of energy expended on posting those 5000. Probably equal to building a mansion out of timber with an axe and a saw.

Its not just the number, its also the quality of the posts you make and the warm and friendly tone that abounds.

You know, there is something for everyone in this forum.

And I'm only 3500 behind Birdy!

Thanx all for your kind wishes. Yes, this is an amazing place, but I put it down to all of you, who behave so well, take the time to help one another, and generally contribute of yourselves to help others.

Thanks Gary !!

Without you there is no Forum and who wants to even think about the alternatives :cry: :cry:

Quantity is not always an indication of quality but you have easily gainsayed that rule :D

Keep up the great work :!: :!:

Well done Gary, you have created an environment where over 1000 people are enjoying the contact, have met new friends and are being educated. You should be very proud of this baby (forum).

Gary

You are a tremendously generous person having created a place like this and then nurtured and tended it as it grows. Congratulations on the 5K and a challenge for the next 5K. Try to catch up to birddog. I figure it's easy if you stop sleeping. :wink:
