Approaching 10,000 Posts.

The post counter reads 9937 as I write this. Maybe we should offer a prize for the member who posts number 10,000. A free lifetime membership to ADKHighpeaks? One summer of free trailwork with Pete Hickey?

Any suggestions?

Yeah, but the scary thing is that me and you are responsible for 16% of them

I believe what happens is the software automatically resets itself to zero, and we all have to begin all of our posts and mountain climbs all over again.

I don't know if that's a good idea. Just to increase our odds of winning we'd all start posting lots of useless junk. Oh, wait. That would be different how? :lol:

They have changed the alloy composition of the bolts that hold the lamp posts up on most of the exits on the Northway. The newer alloy has a better expansion/contraction curve as a function of temperature change. This reduces play in the threads under winds in excess of 40 mph which reduces maintenance check frequency.

This was a post about threads and posts. Very pertinant for a forum and hardly useless junk as someone alluded to.

There's a hole in this post!! Who's not wearing their snowshoes? Mr. Postholer.

Hey, I just noticed my postings count is holding at 81! It's a conspiracy! I deserve equal opportunity at winning this contest! There'll be heck to pay for this!

Doh! Never mind.

Did I win?

Trying to be the 10,000th poster is silly, and I'm not even going to try.
