Post # 25

It is a day of celebration for me, post number 25, and in less than a year and a half at that. I know there will be plenty of people questioning how I could reach this lofty goal in such a short period of time and I am sure there will accusations of performance enhancing drug use and various other forms of cheating. Let me assure you that I am clean and got here the old fashion way through hard work, long hours and dedication.

I only hope that I can be a source of inspiration for new, and even old, forum members how are striving to meet this lofty goal. Hang in there, it can be done, maybe not in a year and a half, or even two, but it can be done and when you finally get there it will be worth all the late nights.

All kidding aside, though I have not posted on here much, I spend most of my time viewing this on my phone and by the time I get back to my computer any contribution I may have has already been covered by other members and frankly I don’t like writing, I have spent a significant amount of time lurking. Kudos to all the members of this forum, your willingness to help is refreshing and the information given excellent. My sincere thanks go out to you all.

I believe I can now give out Reps and plan on spending some time this evening spreading them around, as soon as I figure out how. I understand there is a limit to how many can be given out in a certain period of time, I intend to find out what that limit is tonight.

I also plan to step up my game and begin to contribute more to this great forum, I have set the lofty goal of tripling my post count over the next year. I know many will say it cannot be done and that I am only setting myself up for failure, but you will never achieve anything if you don’t try.

Thanks again and keep up the great work!!

Glad I could make you laugh, I figure that since I have added very little of value to the forum the least I could do is add some humor.

Wow Hasteranger, I left you speechless, that is an accomplishment on its own, but seriously I have enjoyed your many insightful post and was trying to Rep one of your post when I got the message I had been shut down for the day, I will get you tomorrow.

I have been to the rep thread, though I have not made it through all 1375 post yet, I have started to spread the love. It seemed like I hit my daily limit quick, it looks like it will take a long time for me to catch up.

Good point, I need to pace myself, it is no good to start out fast and then run out of steam. Thanks for the welcome and you have answers a question I had. I did not if reps were anonymous or not, I have enjoyed so many of your post over the last year and a half, I will be sending more reps your way when I get out of "Rep Jail".

You should be able to leave a comment when you give reps... If you want that is.
