Here's the post that puts me over the top! The first user to achieve the title Axiomite by reaching 5000 posts after the changeover!
OK, fine, second user. 
I am the Doctor, and THIS... is my SPOON!

LOL! Nobody likes a smart ass! Whadaya mean "no competition." I'm verbose!!!!!! 
Actually you're right. Being in my dotage, I'll probably croak before I get to 5000 posts. Ah well. Just another of life's great disappoinments. Sheesh!

How long do you figure it has taken you to post each message? I'd be interested in the calculation of how much time you've spent just typing words about speakers. Probably more time than most spend listening to them - maybe even more time than you spend listening to them ...

Maybe not, but it's a pretty sneaky way to add 3 posts to your total.

So what do you get for this milestone? Do you earn frequent flyer miles, or AxiomBucks or something?

Well Jack.....just got done updating my Will.
I figure that my age I(also)will not hit the next milestone before the gravestone.
So....the grandkids are now tasked with being sure that "Axiomite" will accompany my name at some point in the future.
They're not dumb; even at their tender ages they realize that to follow my wishes is to their benifit! After all; 35% of nuttin' is better than only 10%!

The exciting thing about it is; being in a "Speaker" forum and all, Ken almost never talks.....

his "Speakers"!! 
Congrats on the "promotion" Ken!!

People who talk about their speakers all the time are insecure and need to constantly remind themselves that they are good.

A 600 would cause my neighbors to install morters around my perimeter....facing "in"
How about a 500 at 5K?

I would think that a properly installed 600 could make the morter shells explode before they reached you!

Hmmmmm......true.
But I'd be afraid my poor house would be reduced to kindling from the 600 before the morters had a chance, even if any of them did manage to get thru

Unless of course they have been discontinued by that time. The alternate prize will be a copper bracelet to ease the arthritis caused by all the excessive typing .

Yeah, Bruce, but one interesting(slightly)thing about the 10,000 post mark is that when they changed the titles last June it was originally just "shareholder". That led me and a couple of others to speculate that since Axiom was privately held, Ian would be sending each of us reaching that plateau a little present. Sure enough, a couple of days later "in the making" was added to "shareholder". Getting the stock is now rather indeterminate; it might take 1,000,000 posts.
