Just passed 6000. This also means that I've reached page 7 of the Directory. But I have some people on my tail, notably quetzalcoatl and no prophet's flag is set so...

I reckon this one should be 11911, which has a pleasing symmetry about it. ![[Smile]](smile.gif)

Coming up to 1,000 posts. Seem to have increased rapidity once I got the hang of some of the Circus games. Not quite on the scale of some here but it feels like going from 3 to 4 digits is a yardstick (not a milestone - that'd be from 4 to 5).

There's nothing quite like joining in a few Circus games to notch up your post-count - by my reckoning this one should be 12345, which is nice and sequential.

My current post count is nothing special, but I just found out that I surpassed Wesley J. I only mention this because I like Wesley J. I'm on page 7 of the index right now, in rather illustruous company.

I'm on the Ship most days but don't always have anything to add to these discussions which are stimulating/ balm to my soul in equal measure.
Hence the fact that this is only post number 500 in two years of being on board.....
But I love it here, so thanks to you all!

Sometimes it only takes for you to start playing one of the games in the Circus, and your post-count shoots up.

True. I'm only rarely in the Circus and when I am, it's mostly on the FLP thread.
I'm not a post count fetishist, but I like to proclaim it here whenever I've hit a round number. What I do like to do sometimes, is to check on which page I am in the directory. I'm on page 6 at the moment, in the company of some very illustrious people.
I wonder how high I can go. I'll never overtake mousethief of course; I think my limit will be somewhere around page 5 or 4.
Anyway, I'll be travelling for the next three weeks, and I don't know how much I'll be able to post.
