1000 and counting..............

Post by Dave Davison »

Just dawned on me the auto counter indicates this is my thousandth upload to the forum so can't think of a more appropriate time to take this opportunity of thanking everyone who has chipped in over the years [both on "Woodies lounge" and this one] with their expertise, cautions, corrections and advice. So, thanks for being tolerant as I have groped my way through this complex technology. :thankyou: :cheers: :fanfare: Regards Dave.

Congrats Dave. Each post adds to ones knowledge bank and you're a 1000 times wiser than when you logged in for the first time. :thumbup:

PS - I bet you guys didn't know that the "V" behind Hans's name is a Roman numeral that indicates that his posts are raised to the fifth power, just because he can....

#1000 was a note of thanks and 1001 is no less sincere, thanks for the numerous comments, it's a pleasure to be part of such a fraternity. As remarked, I certainly am a whole lot more informed about this technology than I would have been if I had not (somehow) stumbled on Woody's lounge in the first place though I can't recall how or when that was. I have incidentally just logged on to Windows Secrets to see when I submitted my first post but can't see a "View your posts" tab anywhere. Cheers Dave.

If you click on your username in the Windows Secrets Lounge, you'll see links to view your posts/threads:

As you see, you joined Woody's Lounge, as it was then called, in October 2007.
The list of posts will probably be incomplete, however. The Windows Secrets Lounge has been converted to a different software platform several times, and some of the content was lost during these transmogrifications.

Transmogrification :clever:
I understand the transformation; but into what?

I like that word. I didn't realise that it existed outside the comic strip Calvin and Hobbes- I thought that it was made up purely for that strip, but apparently it's a much older word.

Ooo! Calvin and Hobbes. All of them priceless. I'd be hard pressed to pick a favourite.
