to MacNN?

This is my 1000th post.

Most have been helpful
Some have been angry
and others have been a complete waste of time.

Still I enjoy my time here :-)

Congratulations on your 1000th post Parky. Many you have many more. Addiction means that it is interfering with your normal activities of daily living.

I think it would be really good if there were more "statuses" between 500 and 1000. That whole time, you are like an elite member. Maybe another status to go in there...

Whats funny is I've been on here around the same amount of time as him but I've never seen one of his posts. Must have posted mostly pre-2001.

As a representative of the silent but present I'll note that at my current rate of achievement/addiction I'll be addicted in 2012.

and as of this thread I officially lost track of gorickey and his aliases. mos? who's that?

Where's the Lurkers Lounge anyway?

by the way it's Friday night and there about 8 people in the lounge so that must mean that some of these people have lives.

GoRickey retired his account and started a new one, man of steal, and that is the only one he uses.
