    10 years on the BBS

    Just noticed but as of the 17th December, I've been on the BBS 10 years, most of it lurking in here. Times flown and I am lucky enough to have personally met some of regulars in this section.

    Here's to the next ten.

    Amazing how the time flies... I mentioned recently that I had joined a forum over 10 years ago to a young person and they said words to the effect that 'forums are so yesterday'. That's just plain wrong.

    Hello,

    Congratulations on your milestone. I guess it's a testament to the popularity of this forum that it has so many long term members such as yourself.

    Happy Christmas

    19,000 posts Ian? (If each post takes an average of 30 seconds, I make that the equivalent of 6.6 lots of 24 hours solid posting - night and day). Now that's sad.

    Very true, Mick. Fortunately, in Ian's case 19,000 posts means a lot of laughs for us.
