has passed the 5000 post barrier. Surely she should be given a sixth star for her efforts.
Sould we start a petition,, or perhaps organise a mass protest at Kalmbach HQ

The world needs more lerts.

It's the 3rd rail that makes the difference.

Personally, I think they should replace the stars with railroad engines.

Did cha' all feel the earth move? I'm sure it did.

I asked Bergie for a tiara!

I finally got one from Sir Tree! He sent me the cutest picture of one!

I pleaded with Bergie to take my stars away - he gave me more!

I asked for a tour of America to see all the forum people. Mailbox still empty.

So just cuz you have lots of stars, no one cares!

Trust me. I'm Mookie!

Sorry Mookie prefers 'big boys' but to quote some shakesphere.A Mookie with any number of stars would be just as curious.

Hey Paula - [:)] I like your suggestion. [:)] Start off with, maybe, a small switching engine (say an 0-6-0) and progressing up through the levels of size/power...

Dave, I kind of like that suggestion myself. It would make the forums
more train-related.

Well, personally I think the stars should be bad ordered and we should focus on the TRAIN material we are all here for. I have thousands of posts on other diesel truck and 4x4 sites along with people that have over 20K posts. We have no need for stars or the like, and I think they just lead to post padding...

Mizmoo,

Can't I lurk in the bushes in peace for a few weeks without you misusing my clever signature? [which I in turn lifted from Mel Brooks]

Nuff said. Back to the bushes...
