I was hoping I'd need a cigarette after that 10,000th post. Pity.
I had to laugh about the ill-fated Yes off-thread conversation that led to Peter's premature postation. I very nearly replied after JP (which might have made Peter move on to something shinier). But I decided NOT to, because I didn't really have anything to say beyond "cool, dude. Me too."
It's fun to hang around with smart people. That's why I spend online time here. Peter, your wit and wisdom meaningfully enhance that experience. I want to thank you for the many times you've made me laugh and made me think, and especially for those times when your comments have made me grateful to share this world with people like you and your family.
Mostly, it seems to me you've made friends here. I think that's the real accomplishment.
Of course, I did it in 7,000 fewer posts...
