20,000!

Well this is my 20,000th post here on IceInSpace!

It's taken almost 4 years but it's been a lot of fun, lots of stuff learned, lots of information passed on, lots of friends made, lots of good times had, lots of images that have inspired me.

Thanks to everyone in the IIS community for being a part of this 20,000 posts.

With a busy work life these days, I don't get as much time to read or post as I used to, so the next 20,000 will probably take longer than 4 years.. man, that sounds like a lot when I say it like that.

Anyway, 20,001 coming up soon..

Congratulations, Mike.

Personally I was interested to see if you'd get to 20,00 before I got to 3000... beat me by 7 posts!

Congratulations Mike, a noteworthy milestone indeed. I’m certain that you just could not have anticipated the explosive success of the Forum when you and Trevor (Mojo) were throwing around the ideas before setting it up.

Thanks to you, the the helpers and the community members, IIS has become quite an extraordinary community, on-line and real life.

Cheers

Dennis
