My 20,000th post.

[Javaman]

And so here I am, yet another mile stone.

Where did the time go? So many things ranted about, yelled about, CAP'D ABOUT, swore about, traded insults about...ahhh good times. :)

With this mile stone, I can finally breath a little better. We are no longer under the thumb of stupidity*. Even though the economy is bleak, I have hope.

Usually at a mile stone, I state that I'm not going to get all squishy and thank DU and the mods, blah, blah, blah, but not this time.

DU, my friend, my compadre, my secret lover, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. You have helped me along through some truly horrible years. Times where tears of frustration and clenched fists of angst were my only reply to the worlds events.

To all the members at DU: Thanks to you all too. For blocking me, for insulting me, to swearing at me and for, most of all, accepting me.

To the Mods: Thank you for all your hard work. Having to deal with the whining day after day, has to be tiresome. Thanks for tombstoning the freeper dolts who have yet to understand that change brings hope.

To the Owners: Thank you, thank you, thank you. You have a very thankless job of keeping this site up and going. Through your patience and wisdom, you bring us, day after day, a website and a multitude of forums for us to express our inner child.

And as always, when I hit a mile stone, I free all those to whom I have blocked. Forgive and forget right? Until you are blocked again. ;) LOL

So to all of you who weather through my rants, my bizarre insights, my occasional tinfoil hat theories, my posts in the Energy/Environmental forum and my mild editorials, fuck you. :) And you all know that comes from a special place with in me.

Fuck you all! :)

Peace, patience and the will to dream.

11. you are on about the same pace as me

You joined about five months before me and I should reach 20,000 five or six months from now provided I don't get hit by a real or virtual piece of granite.

It's funny, or not, but I can barely remember anything about you except that sig pick.

but cheers :toast: and congrats on a milestone :party:
