Congratulations Chris on attaining a significant milestone of 5000 posts.

I've probably read a fair number of those 5,000 and have to say I can't recall a post that didn't inspire me with an image, inform me with your wisdom and skill or give me a chuckle.

You are an asset to this forum and it's been a pleasure to also have had the opportunity to meet you in the flesh.

Congrats Chris.

That's almost a lifetime of sitting at your computer entertaining us with your pix, anecdotes, hints and wry humour.

I've enjoyed every one of them that I have seen - and I hope to see at least another 5000. :D

Cheers

Chris,

Congratulations and well done.

As noted by Peter, your posts are always valuable.

Unless they're espousing Sigma lenses, of course. :)

Congratulations Chris. Thanks for the direct and indirect assistance you've given me and countless others on this forum. If my skills have improved it's largely as a result of the advice given by members like you.

If, on the other hand, my skills have diminished, then....well....I don't quite know who to blame... but I'll find someone. :lol:
