Well, this is it. Post # 20,000. I've been piling them up since spring, 2001.

[Jackpine Radical]

It was a day like all days, except--

I cast my early vote for Obama this morning. And I am hereby making my 20,000th post on DU this evening.

Thank you one and all for carrying me through.

[Jackpine Radical]

11. I've been keeping count on my fingers.

No, actually, go to one of your posts--like the one I'm responding to here--and click on the little profile icon. You'll find your post count there.

Edited to add: You joined in 2002 and your post count is 13552.

19. Jeepers, I've posted 13,552 times and people here still have no idea who I am! 8^)

And I plan to keep it that way! 8^P

[Jackpine Radical]

20. Who are you, anyway?

[scarletwoman]

26. I'm wondering that, too. What kind of first name is "Trut", anyway?

[truthisfreedom]

28. Silly! Truth is freedom, not trut his freedom. Sheesh! 8^P

I'm just an average, hard-working manufacturer. 8^D

[swishyfeet]

13. 20,000 / 7.5 / 365 = 7.3

In case anybody was wondering.

:wow:

[scarletwoman]

15. BTW -- now that I've got my "congrats" post out of the way -- do you remember

back when you and I were competing to see who would be the first to make it to 1,000 posts? I remember we both hit 700 almost at the same time -- but I don't remember who won the 1,000 post race. (which probably means it was you, eh?)

I'm so happy to have had your company on this board all these years, you're one of the BEST!

20,000 posts! I'll NEVER catch up to you now, dammit!

:loveya:

[Jackpine Radical]

37. I guess with 93,000 you figure you're ahead.

What else do you do?

:evilgrin:

[babylonsister]

38. I've been trying to educate people, and rarely with my opinion, though

it does seep in there occasionally. :P
What do I do? What do you do?

[The Wielding Truth]

33. My hat's off to you, Jackpine Radical. DU for life!

[Ferret Annica]

34. heh, I signed on at the same time and have less then a thousand.

But I'm sure I have more then 10,000 posts total from other forums I belong to.

DU is OK, but I really hate the interface, and it ain't no open forum. Which is fine, I don't criticize a legitamate choice of direction to take a forum, but I will never ever really care for closed choir forums.
