Oh look, 3,000!

Just wanted to thank everyone for making this place as great as it was last year when I first joined.

TRF has been my refuge from a world that doesn't care about what I enjoy the most - Rolex watches.

Everyone here (except the trolls) seems to be on the same page when it comes to WIS enthusiasm.

Thanks Carlos!

Hope you don't trade yours for a 312.

Thanks Gerardus, Kyle, Ken, Eduardo, and Mouthwash!

I always enjoy reading your posts.
I've always wished I started early like Kyle.
Gerardus' posts always makes me want to go on a vacation!
Ken, Eduardo and Mark I consider kindred spirits as I always nod in agreement with your opinions.

Actually, Jib only at 3.5% of JJ's posts. I wonder how JJ got that many and what does he do all day??

I now know what 3K in one year means, bro. I just realized when I started this thread that I need to go out more!
