When your "user's post count" next to your name switched to "over 1000" did you feel kinda sad?
Were you like, *sigh*, I guess I'm one of them for sure now like the creeping in of your first gray hairs?

Or did you go Woo-hoo! I'm one of the big ass posters now, bay-bee! Everyone's gonna know who I am! with the optimism of college freshman?

Or were you more like, Damn I sure do spend a lot of time here the way it slowly dawns on you already are who it is you're going to be?

Or did that moment linger a bit too long, you chewing on it that the number's so high now it's no longer worth counting?

7. Can't say I remember. Now 1000 post counts are very common and not hard to attain.
I have seen posters get to the 1000 post level in just a month, and that takes some serious posting. Actually probably not "serious" posting but certainly posting all the time.

Now I am one of the big boys, no longer a "newbie".

10. 1000?

I think this will be Post #33 -- so you'll have to wait 4 or 5 days
before I know the answer to THAT question.
