I have given up on the 10,000 merit, but I have just crossed 10,000 posts!

get a pm directly from theymos

Be careful what you wish for...

True, might remove that from the list.....

For me its theymos saying "Welsh, you're the greatest thing since slice bread" ...any day now.



Actually anyone saying that would be great

Bad form if that hasnt been messaged already  
So being a celtic cousin as yourself I know the meaning of that saying and yes you are
the best thing from sliced bread! - Now, whats your take on Welsh rugby ATM?

I have given up on the 10,000 merit, but I have just crossed 10,000 posts!

I also hit my 10,000th post this year. Since I tend to think in terms of orders of magnitude, the next significant milestone would be 100,000 posts, which I won’t reach.

I think the only milestone I’d still have a shot at reaching would be making it into the top 100 in earned merit. Same thing there—for me, the next milestone would be making it into the top 10, which isn’t going to happen.

Reaching 20,000 posts or being 90th in earned merit is cool, but it’s not nearly as cool as when you move up an order of magnitude.

I checked some older data, and you're indeed moving in on this target.

I know that I'm happy in this forum because there is always something new for me to gain everytime and day, this is an informative and educative place where you get all types of perspectives to a topic. I respect the intelligence of majority of forum members, you think that you are very vast in one aspect and you see somebody else that is dissecting it deeper than you know so you wouldn't have a choice but to humble yourself and learn from them.

As for the achievements in this forum I really admire every intelligent high ranked members including those that I consider quality posters that are not high ranked, I used to wish that I would be ranking up successively then I realized that my accolades doesn't go beyond this forum. No obsession to be among the best here, I'm happy to enter this forum everyday to learn something and give something back in return.
