Nr. 20,000, and this post is dedicated to all the fine folks of this site.

Well, here it is, Nr. 20,000. I want to dedicate this post to all the great folks I met here and have become friends with. I can;t name everybody as i'd be here all-night typing left-handed and one-fingered because my Cat Shasta, is currently sitting on my lap and im having to both prop her up with my right arm and pet her at the sametime.

Anyway, I couldn't have come this far without you Ladies and Gents and though I can only name a few-those who are not named is only because of lack of time. Anyway, I owe much to the likes of (Ladies first) Michelle & Suzie & Sherry & Cindy. The Gents include but are not limited to: Paul, Erich, Skipper, Jason, Will, Lou, Otto, Ray, Clint, Hucks, Stefan, Mark, Scott, Martin, Ike, John, Jon, John, Mike, Tex, Bill, Sapper, Fried, JC, Red Coat, Kevin, Ted, Gordon, (just to name a few) and a whole bunch of ya I cant name for lack of finger access and time.

Take care y'all and looking forward to seeing you all here for quite a longtime to come. Also, I particularly owe a bunch of you some stuff, just bear with me because I over-spent this month on stuff partly because im wanting to get more images here for you all to enjot, and partly because I admit I got a bit greedy in wanting more good photos. I absolutely promise some will FINALLY recieve some of the things I promised-starting after the first WK of Feb-I gotta pay off all my bills first-then get focused on getting somethings out to you.

Best regards-Carl.

 

Well said Carl!

and Thank You for your great expertise and for being a good friend! This forum wouldn't be what it is today without you! thanks again Carl!

Hi Suzie, Martin, Ray, Gordon, Robert, Kai, Jeff, Luke, Clint,

Hi Suzie, since you have been here, i've had much great stuff to read as well as have great pleasure of hearing from you. I will make a promise though, I will be starting telling stories to you as soon as possible. I still havent had the chance to properly reply to your PM yet.

Thank you Martin, and I owe you much as well ;-)) oh and, my latest Militaria deal is because of you-meaning that I know how much you like collecting deacts-well, I juyst secured an excellent example of an MP-40 ;-))

Thank you too Ray. I have always enjoyed our friendship as well as our exchanges here and looking forward to many many more mate ;-))

Hi Gordan, same here MAte. I am also greatful for your help in giving me much more to read about in the "ancient relics dept ;-)) Speaking of--I think you would approve of my latest find in that dept-just as of this morning. Im referring to an MP-40. Though its not original, its a repo but is impressive as all heck ;-)) Its pictures are at: Black Cross Military Collectibles, Militaria For Sale, German WWII, Reproduction Military collectibles, Military Antiques, Militaria Antiques and is on repo depot pg 4. Im getting this because it will go greatly with a display that I hope to complete sometime this decade ;-))

Robert, heh heh, iv'e forgotten more than I know-but thank you for the nice compliments ;-)) Cheerts to you Mate.

Kai, you can say that again, and thank you my friend. I owe you much grattitude as well and hope to someday repay some of it ;-)) Im as usual, behind on completing things for folks here because over-spending in the Militaria Dept ;-))

Jeff, thank you, and thank you, the mods and Otto and such for putting up with my wild unrestrained ways. I really do owe you all a lot and wish I had a way to repay some of it ;-))

Luke, :lol: :lol: many thanks ;-)) Heh heh, like with Martin, I think you gave me some good luck in the firearms dept ;-))

Clint, heh heh, thank you and im also glad im not alone in having over 10K posts. You all give me reason for many of mine and I wish I had tiome to look into everything here. I am hoping all of us will be here for at least another decande.

Also, thanks to all who gave me a salute for this-you all deserve them more than I do.

Take care-Carl.

 

Congrats Carl. 20K is one hell of an achievement.

 

Hi Mike, thanks as well, and, you have done much for this site as well. You keep me and us interested and learning.

Take care--Carl.

 

Well this is a damn nice thread, time for one of these....


I hear Time magazine has named Carl...Man of the Year 2010.

 

Oh Lord, just don't let me be sharing ths cover with--uh-and with great disgust I have to use this word-- politicians. :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

And I hear that Jaeger has nominated Carl for next year's Nobel Peace Prize!

What's your aggregate post count from ALL your forums? Great job!

 

Heh heh, more like-nominating me as the "Fox" and he's the Hound ;-)) this is because i once told him: :"A thousand Swedes ran through the reeds, chased by one Norwegian" and he mistook me for thinking i called him a Swede :-D just kidding of course.

As for posts counts on all forums-probably near 100,000. Trouble is, is that a few sites i used to be on no longer exist, and others its been about 10 or more years since i was last on them. Others have as many as from 1-to-5 postings on them ;-))

 

100,000 PLUS! That makes you a Postmaster General for sure....

 

Heh heh, the second highest totals I have are on Dukewayne.com. There im over 6 grand and change. Oh and if you also count how many of my posts were deleted on all the sites put together-that would be about 8,500 and some change ;-))

 

Thank you, Carl, and Congratulations! Such an amazing number of posts, particularly when you have frequently been challenged by not having access to a computer! I've only a 1/10 of your posts and know that I will probably never catch up with you!

Your enveloping warmth towards the Forum, Rogues, and this topic which endlessly fascinates us is greatly appreciated by me and I'm certain by all members. I'm so glad that I can call you a friend.
