So, For My 40,000th Post!

[ProfessorGAC]

I brain cramped at at 10, 20, & 30 thousand, but not this time.
I first posted in March or April of 2001.
So, compared to folks like my pal Malaise, I'm a piker! Took me 19 years 2 months to get to 40k!
But, especially given the last 3 months with stay @ home and the stresses inherent, I've been spending even more time here on DU.
So, for my forty thousandth post, I want to say THANK YOU to:
Skinner
Earl
Elad
And the whole gang here at DU!!
Made the 12 weeks much easier to endure.
Thanks folks!

5. Another Pal Who Makes Me Look Lazy!

To get to your #, I'd have to live another 71 years!
I don't think I'll make it!

6. I guess I am a piker too... Been here since 2001 and barely 3500 posts...

[ProfessorGAC]

8. And, I'm Posting Way More...

...the last 3 months.
Might have normally taken this whole year to get to 40k.
I do enjoy reading & posting here!!

48. Me three

I've been here since 2002, and am barely over 1000 posts, but I feel like this board has helped me stay informed and know that there are people who are passionate about values that I share are working to shine light on darkness.

I just wish that more people would recognize the importance of voting and taking on the responsibilities that come with citizenship, here it's like speaking to the choir, but knowing how low voter turnouts are compared to the actual amount of eligible voters, is depressing

7. Congratulations, old timer!

9. Thanks Skinner, Earl, Elad and YOU!

17. Congratulations, Prof! Thanks for making me smile.

May you knock out 40,000 more!

[PatSeg]

18. Good number!

I've been here since 2004 and a lurker before that. I just broke 30,000 recently and I think a lot of that was due to Trump.

[ProfessorGAC]

20. Oh, A Fellow Piker!

Ain't we lazy?

[PatSeg]

40. Actually, more like lazy and inconsistent

I took lots of breaks from DU during the Obama years. Then along came Trump and I got sucked back in, which isn't a bad thing. I think we all come here to maintain some sanity.

Hard to believe it has been over sixteen years for me!

[hatrack]

19. Rock on, PGAC!

Congratulations!!

[Auggie]

21. Congrats ...

happy I was able to contribute (a very little bit) via the Sports Forum.

[calimary]

22. Good stuff, ProfessorGAC!

Thanks for so many good and funny and relevant posts!

I think we both started here at roughly the same time, early in bush/cheney. LOVE DU. Needed it then. Still need it now.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

23. I guess the chemistry was right. Congratulations. NT

[ProfessorGAC]

25. I See What You Did There!

Made me chuckle!

[murielm99]

24. Congrats!

I've been here a little less time than you, but only recently made it to 26,000.

We do post more under the stay at home guidelines.

Good for you. Thanks for being here.

[Evolve Dammit]

26. Congrats. I just read for years before posting. It is a great community. You are no piker!

[The Polack MSgt]

27. I hear that 40,000 is the new 30,000

Congrats!

At my posting rate, I will need another 22 years and 97 days to reach 40k

Yes in fact I did caculate it - I broke down my average posts per day for the 5 years I've been here and projected forward.

Nerd life, it ain't no good life - but it's my life.

28. Aha! Now we know who's holding up production. Yer messin' with the quotas!

[Maeve]

29. Seems a lifetime ago, doesn't it?

I came in a couple months later, drawn by the light of the top ten conservative idiots of the week....

Congrats and slainte!

42. If I Live To 83, Then No Problem

Don't take the bet I'll have another 40k, though!
Unless I quit piking!

[Hekate]

43. Congrats! I was going to do something meaningful for my 60,000th, but I blew it.

Glad you're still going strong.

It's like we wrote a script together, the ideas are so close!
