    XLD -- congrats (I hate "Me Too's", but this is a milestone)

    Shades of Y2K -- what would happen if you rolled over 9,999 + 1 = 0,000 and you had to start over

    I bet he'd still be the first to 10k.

    Hmmm... if you set Malcolm back to zero first, maybe. I don't think even Bob could beat Malcolm to 10,000 if you gave Malcolm a 7,000 point lead.

    EDIT: Just to be clear on this though, it's not at all a competition to Bob. I'm 100% sure of that.

    Not too sure about that, if you discounted all my "moderator/admin" posts.

    If MOS Master was still around, we would probably have a 20K poster today

    I haven't heard from Joost for a long time. I used to get an email once in a while but not for some time now. He was definitely an active member.

    No argument from me on that one. He was prolific, that boy!

    The direction of this thread prompted me to fire a quick email to Joost and I just received a reply. It was brief as my note was short because I wasn't sure he would receive it.

    He says he has been busy but is missing the forum world and to give his regards to all who know him.

    Hi Bob... AKA Grand Master, (and hi guys)

    I thought I'd drop in for a few minutes.
    Congrats on your amazing achievement (the number of individuals helped must be astonishing) and it's nice to know you still remember me.

    And your right I wonder how much posts I would have if I could still be an active member. But I'll try to stop by more for a visit. (but even at my old rate of 15 post a day I wouldn't come close to you in a long time)

    You (and more guys in this topic) have been a great inspiration to me and I do realize how sensitive you guys are! (so thumbs up to you all)

    Hope to see you guys more often.
    Ps: Steve... thanks for waking me up...
    Ps: Zack... the feeling is mutual, if we could only have 48 hours in a day...
    Ps: Ken... right back at yah buddy...
    _________
    Groetjes,

    Joost Verdaasdonk
    M.O.S. Master

    Congratulations Bob,

    You are without doubt one of the good guys.

    I am playing all the right notes, but not necessarily in the right order.

    Well done, Bob! Congratulations to you!

    One of the things I like most about Bob is that he has never treated anybody unfairly. He is always civil, and never arrogant. On top of all that, he shares a wealth of knowledge that we can all be grateful for. An all around great guy!

    Way to go, Bob!

    Do you know, I'm sure he once was disparaging about my being in Wales. But I guess no one is perfect.

    I like him.

    I heard he's written a case select loop to cover the disparaging comment about your being in Wales..... but if you were to move, it'll exit the sub.
    Remember To Do the Following....
    Use [Code].... [/Code] tags when posting code to the thread.
    Mark your thread as Solved if satisfied by using the Thread Tools options.
    If posting the same issue to another forum please show the link

    As my family originate from Wales themselves, I am sure the disparagement was nothing about Wales ...

    But you are Yorkshire too as I recall, and I might well have made some comment about that strange Northern place, indeed I did again earlier today.
