well congrats to rune and linna.

Congratulations...and more, please!

Hah. I don't know how to deal with praise / compliments.
So I'll try this: thanks, SD!

On the plus side... since I put off responding to the compliment...
...it meant that when I came back here, I found lots of other people's congratulationary - ermm, congratulatory - posts.

So that's good!

So thanks, sorus, Menolly, MsMary, Hurn!, Rune, Av, ali, & sarge.
(Party time!)

Congrats, Linna and Rune!
for writing even more

And welcome back, Effy!
So you get a too - do you think you'll be able to stick around a bit?

May you have many happy postings - may you even attain to the gaining of a sustificate!

Well, Effaeldm only has 110 posts to go to 3K, so I hope so...

This thread has always confused me a bit. I always assumed that Mile High meant 5,280 posts as in a mile being 5,280 feet.
I have spent the bulk of my adult life working in the Land Surveying business and measuring stuff is a large component of what we do so I'm more aware of what a mile represents than most I suppose.

Never mind me.

I think that way back near the beginning of the thread there was an explanation / justification of the discrepancy.

Mostly I think it was about not pandering to your imperial measure nonsense, but "The Kilometre High Club" didn't have the same ring to it.

I'm sure I celebrated when I reached 1609 posts

aTOMiC, I did a Surveying degree - we're currently looking for a surveyor. Wanna come live in Australia and work with me? Apparently you'll cease to exist according to Sarge and some others, but apart from that it's awesome!

That sounds freaking awesome, though I'm probably not qualified as I never pursued or applied to become a registered professional. I love Australia (though I've never been of course). In a different reality I would jump at the chance however it seems I'll be working for and ultimately retiring with the great City of Tampa survey department. Besides I don't want to cease to exist. Its sounds...nullifying.

I haven't practised much myself in the traditional survey area - more GIS for me. That's why we need someone with land surveying experience... and CAD, I'd take CAD experience as a lot of our clients want 3D AutoCAD delivery.

Anyway.... derail successful

Nice to see you around StevieG. The Watch is accessible from anywhere, even imaginary places, so I say go for it TOM.

Congrats, Avatar!


I'm still working on hittin' the big 3K.

Congrats Avatar - you continue to break new ground

Thanks guys. C'mon, both of you are so close to 3K...you can score it on the way to the big 1 million.

I used to be the fastest user and had the highest post count on the Watch some time ago. Now I have to hurt myself to look up high enough to see Av's post count. Heck to catch dAN I have to close a 4,000 post gap.

In any case when I reach 18k it will be noteworthy.

Not long now TOM.
