Nope Erich, just finished the 13K run!

Yes, I got Späte´s book and I really enjoy reading it. Jealous of the signings as I only have mine on it...

That sounds like a long way from now on and lots of work before that...But in a couple of years should be reached as amazing as it sounds!

Anyway thanx everyone for your support and sending congratulations I put some pics of Bosnia in my personal album as well as the "sacred computer corner" here at our summer cottage....without the usual loads of books etc the computer corner looks a bit naked but....

There you are, 13,000+ posts of great quality, not one word too many (as opposite to somebody from a Latin country whose name I won't quote invoking the 5th Amendment)

Heh heh, no worry guys. Kai is very soon-going to get two opportunities to zip on by me. One is because of my up-coming move and I don't know when i'll have internet at home. The other reason is too personal even for me to blab about. ;-D

So, who's near any landmark? Who are the ones to watch for?

Erich, about 10,000
Martin Bull, about 9,000
Skipper, nearing 5,000
T.A. Gardner, very near 3,000
JCFalkenberg, near 3,000 too
Mussolini and Joe leisurely reaching 2,000
plus a few more approaching 500

Errrr, no... look up the reputation table, see the people normally at the top and think a bit. I'm on that group now but that's only a flash in the pan, normally I'm somewhat lower than my current exhaltation, being a disreputable fellow

Not so long ago Kai was congratulated for his 13.000
Now I'm happy to annonce that he will be the first one ever on the forum to achieve the mythical 14.000 postings and is our first poster.
Happy 14.000 !!!!! I'm curious to see your new medal

14,000 posts, all of them of the greatest quality. The man does know what he says!

Not only that, one also has to take into account the breadth of subjects he touches. A Renaissance Man

Not only but also, a very kind person. Here's to you Kai!
