You know, I didn't even notice. I guess it is quite an achievement and thanks CalvinH for recognizing this new chapter in my life. It took me seven long tortuous years to reach this goal. But I first joined GB in 2003-04 and my original account was under the name MTwain which was put in TO by Ron and allowed to languish indefinitely. So who knows how many posts I would have if those years were counted.
And a word of advice to those striving to reach this elite status: if you have no social life, no job, no friends and nothing but time on your hands; it is achievable to belong to the ranks of the GB elite. The ranks of the winners.
Just be a loser in real life. If I can do it anybody can.
I am humbled and grateful.
