Where has the time gone. This is my 40,000 post. That seems like a lot but I guess it is what it is, to use a favorite saying. I enjoy TRF and have learned very much over the years. Off to 50k.

Let me be the first to congratulate you William.

I always enjoy your thoughts and ideas around collecting. I’ve learned a lot from you, and your posts are always appreciated.

Congrats William. I see that's an average of 8.75 a day, which seems a lot till you see Brian has 18.5 a day. And not an angry or rude post between you

Well to be fair … there have been a few threads recently that have pushed my toward anger.

So far so good … I’ve learned to bow out if my blood pressure rises

Sorry Brian if I offended you. I promise I’m not Patrick Bateman. If either of us resemble a young Christian Bale it’s you my friend! Lol

Good thing to make a positive milestone

I’ve throttled back a bit since I have little new to say - usually the first few posts answer the question(s).

Well, mostly…I was able to pass right by the 32xx thought experience the last few times it had some fresh meat.
