Congratulations to Dave!
« on: December 22, 2013, 04:13:21 am »
Congratulations to Dave for finally reaching 10k forum posts!

Dave thinks he needs to get a life, but really,  6.5 (Edit: 6.543 per day) posts a day isn't that much,  considering it is part of the job and all.

Who will be next? SeanB? C4757P? Who knows!

Dear lord, if I ever make it to five digits, I'm pretty sure one of you who lives in the US is going to just come kill me so I'll finally shut up. :scared:

I have over 10k posts on a couple forums, one I had over 20k posts, I posted a lot for a while. It really doesn't take that long.

As the exhaled air is mostly water vapour the zeppelin will never get off the ground.


More than C4757P, luckily I am not always talking out of my rear, otherwise it would blow up in a "Great Balls Of Fire". ;)

Some people may think that is a low count, but that doesn't take into account all the time spent reading the posts before and after, researching, editing, etc.

That also doesn't include the time spent reading posts, but not participating because it was already said or Dave had nothing to add.

There are at least 2 other EEVblog members within 100km of me. Just wonder if any of them have a personalised plate of GAL20V ZN on the grey SUV they drive.

Over on my forum on thcnet.net we had the 10K+ club.  The joke was once you reached 10,000 posts you would get a custom embroidered smoking jacket, that you could wear while sipping a fine beverage and conversing with other 10K+ members.  Not sure what would be appropriate here.. a lab coat perhaps?

Well, I would rather put the money in buying plane tickets towards something like a spectrum analyzer. If free_electron keeps on talking, let's just say that I visit Silicon Valley quite often and may move there soon.
I'm not saying we should kill all stupid people. I'm just saying that we should remove all product safety labels and let natural selection do its work.
