Hertzilein! You DID it!

You reached your 12.000 posts (plus 2).
CONGRATULATIONS!
Just double your count and you'll have almost reached me! As easy as that :biggrin:

Well done HvR, you made it through the barrier intact, can't have been easy for you...

Actually, I don't remember seeing celebratory post back there Corinna for the 24k. And nice work on the other thread...

Pssst, Chris, it's because there wasn't any. I just tiptoed into the 24.000. Don't tell anyone I'm there, ok?

Chris of Arabia · Jan 18, 2008

...I'll not mention it, OK?

Congratulations! I am afraid of the other side though ...

I am still considering not to cross the line at 10 000 at all.

To be honest, I hadn't even noticed.
As you all know I spam - and start spam threads - just for fun, not with any intention of raising my post count.
I think I have gone on record a number of times that I think the post count should be switched off.
But as long as some people keep thinking that the number of posts you make is important then I will keep making fun of it.

Do you want me to hit 24,000 by lunchtime? :twisted:

Hmm, what if there is not much more left in my life than my postcount?

BTW, why does LaFoto call you Hertzilein (which sounds very positive and nice in German), whereas I am just called Du Dödel in recent threads (which sounds much less nice ... if not even offensive

)

Since lunchtime starts in some 6 minutes from now, I fear you might be having a hard time meeting me

- other than right here in Germany at the end of May, of course !!! (And have you ever known a better example than yours truly to find out that a high post count does not mean a thing AT ALL? Whether I post or whether I don't post ... no one will notice the difference, anyway).

And thanks for not telling, Chris! :wink:

If you trawl the archives Corinna has explained why she calls me that.

You think I can't post 12,000 in 5 minutes?
I could if you turned the post timer off on the Board. I mean, having to wait 20 seconds to spam. Outrageous.
How can I be my old self with that handicap?

Ach, Alex........

Please, don't anyone say 'yes'. I have no doubt that if he sets his mind to it, he'll do it.

Okay, since you don't care about post counts, I won't 'congratulate' you on reaching 12,000. But I'll reiterate that your posts have been helpful, informative, and funny, and I always look forward to reading what you've written. I know you have helped and inspired many members. Now if only we could get you over your Canuckophobia... :greenpbl:
