thank you one and all, certainly a great bunch of people here.

Never when I made 500 posts, did I even remotely expect i'd ever hit a thousand,...but it's amazing what a few high spirited arguments can do for ones post count. [:D]

Will I ever hit 5 stars? Well, it would sure look remote to me. However, so long as there is a Union Pacific, the world will never run out of things that need grumbled about,...so who knows?

Thanks again.

Sorry I was a little slow coming with congrats. Was trying to think of a topic that would promote a major war between us, good for maybe 50 posts each, and let you get a nice jump start on the next star. I couldn't come with anything THAT good, so I guess we might as well stick to the high road. See you there.

It happens faster than you think...

You will get there. I still remember those long drawn out discussions with Andrew...lol...adds much to the count.

Good luck, We need some INTELEGENT debate in here. There has been too much drivel going on in here lately (not that I'm entirely innocent [:D])
