Five years ago today!

Post by fireglo »

My profile says I registered five years ago today! (It was still the 6th when I posted) It sure dosen't seem that long. I still enjoy reading posts as much today as when I first registered!

Five years? That's a lot! And you've even managed not to reach post #1000 by that time, which is cool imho - the less a man talks, the more he does, they say. Image (and once my favorite quote was, "the less you say, the more each of your words is meaningful")
Congratulations!

Thanks Sheena! I love being able to talk to people from all over the world on this great forum.

This post brings me up to 200! Woot!

Obviously I am somewhat guilty as charged. Not to worry 9/10ths of what I say is probably meaningless Image

Seriously though. Five years? Way to go Tim.

Brian, then you may be only 58 posts guiltier than me. Image
Timothy, did you get something special for 5th anniversary? Say, a new Rickie? Image

Yes that's true, but look how long you've been posting on the forum Sheena. You are also a long term member or is that poster? Image

Congrats to you both.

Tim, we must have registered very close to the same time, but I must be more vocal ... or opinionated ... or something!

Hmmm. Don't know if I agree with that wisdom.

I don't see it as a rule, Sheena...more a faux platitude, and a not too accurate one at that.

It entirely depends on the person speaking, obviously.
I hear people talking all day at work, but even a few posts here are much more valuable to me!

Half of what I say is meaningless, but the other half means more.
