Post # 6000!!!!!!!!!! where to go from here?
« on: November 03, 2009, 02:28:20 pm »
well, was trying to figure out what to post for my 6000th post.... over 9000 topics.. almost 125,000... yes folks, you read that number right.. almost 125,000 posts that my poor eyes have had to read (well, almost all of them)... over 4000 members (granted, some are spam profiles, but not all that many). 

Watching folks come and go (welcome to the wonderful world of the internet).  Leapyrtwins/Jan has blown WAY by me in # of posts (but, that don't surprise me... she loves you all just as much as I do... well, most of you! ;) )  I've heard some really great success stories over the past 4+ years.  I've seen the not-so-good as well.  I've met too many AN'ers for me to count... not just in the USA but in the UK as well (still waiting to meet my Larry/Laz in the land of Oz!).  I FINALLY got to meet Capt Deb and survived to tell the story! ;)  (she's gonna hit me for that later!).  I've harrassed.. and been harrassed.  I've been made to blush too many times by the ANA and you all here.  I've had to crack the whip a few times here and there... scoop up an occassionally-tipped halo while the "JKL" trio run amock!  :-* 

I work with absotootely, the maximum best in Moderating Team there can be (but I STILL hold the keys to the Mod jet!  8) )..... so, along the way.. in my 6000th post... I just want to say... thank you to you all for helping to make my life NOT boring! :)

xoxo

But as soon as you post again you won't have such a nice round number any more. You will just have to hurry on toward 7000.

I can't believe there are almost 125,000 posts already. It seems like just yesterday that I posted #100,000. That was fun.

Phyl ~

I'm not a post-counter but 6000  definitely deserves acknowledgment.  To me, it indicates your dedication to the the forums, which is obvious and undeniable.  I know you're an inspiration to many, including me.  I probably would have drifted away from the ANA site/forums some time ago but your encouragement and example was influential in persuading me to not only remain but to accept a moderator position, which I've never regretted.  I used to spend a lot of time on the internet arguing politics and other issues.  I don't do that anymore.  The AN forums take the lions share of my internet time now - and I believe it's time well spent.  Your leadership for the moderators coupled with your genuine empathy and compassion for ANers at any stage of the 'journey',- if you'll forgive the metaphor - is like a beacon of light in a world that can sometimes get a little dark.  Many people thank you for that and are pleased to 'celebrate' your 6,000th post.  You can count me as one of those people.

Even as a newbie, I sense your dedication to this work, Phyl...and I thank you for your commitment.  For those of us who were "lost in the snowstorm", this site has been our shelter.  God bless.
