Still stuck at four-nines, unless he types faster than I do...

[Tim Morton]

drum roll please!!!!!!:cool:

[Steve Clardy]

drum roll please!!!!!!:cool:

I can't find the drum roll or i'd turn it on. Hidden in my documents somewhere:(

[Jim Becker]

I will mark the occasion...and this particular post is "the one" by saying the number really doesn't and shouldn't matter. I actually would prefer that the number of posts someone has made not be displayed...perhaps some indicator that someone is "new" so appropriate kudos can be delivered is all that is really necessary. vBulletin has a lot of neat flexiblity to do things like that...hint, hint...

Simple participation in the community is what counts, no matter at what level or frequency. Even folks who just "lurk" are winners if they get something from the forum that helps them understand something or propels them to try something new. :)

So...what do I win??? :D :D :D :D

Well Tim mentioned a free drum roll. But as of yet I haven'y found it. So--:confused:

[Frank Pellow]

Jim, you not only contribute a large number of posts, but the majority of your posts arte of high quality and infrmative to the rest of us here at Saw Mill Creek. I know that you have been a great help to me on many occasions and I am just one of many who could say the same thing. Thanks!

Yep...we're a bunch of winners here alright....9,999 practice runs and you pick a vice presidential acceptance speech to ring in the new digit spot to the left of the comma?! Live a little Jim! ...drop an expletive and see what Ken does, or at least say something controversial like "everyone who owns a blurfel brand tool is an idiot"... you get the idea!

:D


p.s.: Oh! Almost forgot my manners....congratulations! :)

[Lee DeRaud]

Well Tim mentioned a free drum roll.Kind of like a jelly roll, but...chewier.:eek:

[Andy Hoyt]

I sure hope you type fast. I've just spent the last forty-seven hours doing a word count on all 10k. At 30 words a minute you're up to a full time job's worth of time just typing, much less reading stuff here.


:cool:J;)I:DM:confused: B:oE:eek:C:(K:mad:E:)R:rolleyes:

[Mark Singer]

He has a lot to say! and he know what he is saying! Congradulation Jim!

[Ken Garlock]

Jim, either you are very efficient, or you have too much time on your hands. :eek: :D

Keep up the posts, I have learned a lot from you. :cool:

[Bruce Page]

[Bob Noles]

Just one question Jim..... when on earth do you have time to play in the shop? :D :D :D :eek:


Congrats and thanks for the many hours devoted to helping all of us.

[Steve Clardy]

Kind of like a jelly roll, but...chewier.:eek:


Lol:D:D ;)

[Bart Leetch]

Jim is not really busy yet wait till the 2 girls come back to stay. :D Oh boy or should I say oh Girls. You'll be out numbered Jim... :eek:

[Ernie Nyvall]

[John Miliunas]

Well, going by what you said, I won't "congratulate" you, but rather, slap you a cyber "high five"! :D Totally agree with you on making the # of posts visible. Really doesn't matter, though I do like to try and welcome new-comers to the Creek. I don't know..Maybe a little red flag or something near the user's name, which times out after his/her first 10 posts or such? :) Anyhow, I will joint the others in thanking you for bringing a LOT of great info to the Creek! Keep up the great job!:) :cool:

[Mark Singer]

Your quite a poster yourself #2:D

..."everyone who owns a blurfel brand tool is an idiot"...

Scott, I've been using Blurfel tools all my life, my daddy used Burfel tools, and his daddy used Blurfel tools. They make the best IHNIWTM* system out there. I agree...we're idiots, but for a different reason. You gotta problem with that? :p

Oh, and congrats Jim on the milestone. Like others have mentioned, your posts are part of what makes SMC a great place to learn and share.

[Jeff Sudmeier]

JIm, it has been great reading your posts!! Something like 11 a day since you joined on average, that is a lot of posts and they are all great!

[Eddie Watkins]

Jim,
Congratulations! Your posts have also benefited me many times. you are always concise and well informed.
I've seen work come out of your shop so my suggestion is lighten up on the caffeine (or double it when your girls arrive).:D

[Jules Dominguez]

Jim, keep those posts coming. I've enjoyed and benefitted from them.

[Kelly C. Hanna]

Wow...10k! I'll be eighty before I get that far....

[Aaron Koehl]

So...what do I win??? :D :D :D :D

We double your salary starting tomorrow.

[Lee DeRaud]

We double your salary starting tomorrow.Gives "cheap date" a whole new meaning.:eek:

[Randy Moore]

I kind of wonder if Jim works and if so what he does. He hit a certain number yesterday, 9-13-2005 and has since long passed it. Congats :cool: and hope you double that number shortly.

Jim I know veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery little about wood, computers or anything except construction . Do you need an apprentice? LOL

Randy

[Corvin Alstot]

Jim/
Volume is nice but your support, participation, humor, passion for wood and helpful discussions are what are appreciated.

Have had the pleasure of Jim's company. He's one of the "good guys"

[Corey Hallagan]

I agree with Jim about post counts. With that said, Jim is a credit to this website there is no doubt about that. Always ready to hand out encouragement, Kudo's and compliments, technical know how and last but not least calming presence when these start to get heated. I think anyone would be doing well here to follow his lead. Thanks Jim!

Corey

[Charlie Plesums]

Jim, thanks for your many Many MANY contributions.

[Pete Harbin]

He's like the Wayne Gretzky of Sawmill Creek! :D

Obviously you're greatly appreciated Jim! Thanks for all of your contributions AND your posts of support. I'd have to say that half of your posts are kudos or words of encouragement to others. That's a great way to be. Hmmm...while Gretzky did score more goals than anyone, he had even more assists than goals. You really are the Gretzky of the Creek! :D :D :D
