Congratulations on the 500 post mark SS.

I know that these kind of posts are usually kept for the thousands, but I think that SS has made so many useful and thoughtful posts that his 500 is a milestone in my book.

Thanks for the input mate :D

Hey,

Thanks folks, but I am not really here for accolades or congratulations or milestones - in fact there comes a time in life when milestones become a tad scary. I have had what I consider to be a blessed life doing something everyday that I love and my purpose really is simply to shed some light on the path for those newer to the game that are finding their way.

Thanks anyway,

I always read your posts with fervour Walter - they are full of knowledge gained through the years, wit which is determined by character and a command of the English language that borders on the lyrical.

I look forward to the next 500 :D

Fair go fellas,

I am attempting to use the inclement weather which precludes my shooting of swimming pools and outdoor living areas to assemble some new bookcases and with all this adulation I am having difficulty fitting my head between the shelves to secure them.

I can only echo what has already been said. This forum has a few real characters, and Walter...you are one of them :D

Well your comments on this forum are almost always completely useless, and I don't doubt your photography is similarly awful. Now run along and don't come back until you've finished with those bookcases, when I'll delete this message. :lol:

MCWB,

I could tell by your wonderful work that you were a man of the utmost honesty. I thank you for your encouragement and please don't delete the only post charged with any real veracity.

Cheers,

Streetshooter, it seems like you have only just arrived and the next moment you are on 500, thanks for all the insight in those posts :D
