Milestone.

[JB]

Well, I finally made it to 30,000 posts.

I wondered if Tashasdaddy or someone else was going to catch me before I got here. Sometimes I wondered if I was going to live long enough. :redface:

My posting has slowed a lot in the past couple of years because our band of expert helpers has grown and includes a lot of great helpers who know a lot of stuff that I don't, and the nature of the requests for help has gotten a lot more technically sophisticated. It will probably slow more in the years to come as I slow down almost everything.

It's been a great seven years and I am so thankful for the opportunity to do something useful and helpful in my retirement. I keeps me alive, not just surviving.

Re: Milestone.

Awesome JB!! I always perk up when I see that you're posting. Ancient, slowing or whatever, you are definitely the man.

I was thinking of you yesterday as the wife and I were talking about hummers, she says I have to wait until next week. Those of you who think this post should be deleted, just get your mind out of the gutter right now. We were talking about little birds. No, really . . .

Re: Milestone.

"Ancient Mariner" was my choice, oops! iboats honored me by allowing me to "title" myself. I don't like titles that imply power or authority.

JB is an icon (iboats) and affords the respect he has so deserved.

He has stoodfast throughout all of the iboats changes/growth and has maintained a standard of excellence, that we all can admire.

I am fortunate to call JB, my friend. We've been through a lot. Without his guidance, I would have lost my way. Thanks-JB.

My hat is off to the the "Ancient Mariner".

JB, congratulations, my friend, and may you be well!
