Judy ~ 

Thanks for your encouragement.

Phyl ~

Are you feeling better or is the shock from Judy's post a setback?    ;)

Ernie ~

Judy Vitucci is the ANA Director and has earned her stars.   With your dedication to the forums, you'll earn yours, too.  :)


100,000 posts are a significant milestone and I'm pleased that so many recognize that fact.

wow! Just 204 more posts from me and I'll break 5000! w00t! :)

Is now a good time to mention that when you reach the milestone of 5000 posts, that will represent approximately 20% of all posts to the forum in the last 4 years?  *runs and hides behind Ernie*  :)

Actually it will be 5% (or 1 in 20 posts) but still, that's impressive.

Not sure, Keri. Either a warm fuzzy hat (maybe a metallic pink? hint, hint) from Steve or, more likely, a warm fuzzy feeling ala Kaybo.

Either way, I'm happy. It's a fuzzy week in the ANA world, after all.

Kinda shiny and sparkly like if there were a pink metallic car. Seriously though, Steve, I do not wish to butt into your knitting lineup.

The earlier forum was in no way like this.      All posts went to your home email which made for busy reading.      When I first was planning surgery,there  was absolutely no mention of how good life could be post op.     I was a basket case.      Everyone here had severe problems.

OMG.  I was just telling the nurse practitioner yesterday that when I was diagnosed back in Sept 2001 that the list serve I was on then was nothing like the discussion forum I participate in now.  I thought they were two different associations.  I got so depressed back then that I resigned.  It was taking over my life in a very bad way.  Thanks for the improved version.

Yeah, Nancy, I was on that listserve, too starting when I was diagnosed in Nov 02.  It's how I found House Ear Institute and the docs that saved my facial nerve, bless 'em!  I ended up unsubscribing post-op because of the format as well--too much to read and my head was killing me.  This "take what you like and leave the rest" format is so much more user-friendly.  Besides, they allow us to get silly down here in the basement!  Sure helps my attitude!

So it took a little over 4 years to hit 100,000.  If we write at the same rate, it'll be 2013 by the time we hit 200,000.

There have been nearly 250 posts since this time yesterday. If we average, say, 200 posts per day, the next 100,000 will take only 500 days, or just over 16 months. I predict it will take even less time, though, because membership is increasing all the time.

Absolutely, Brian! Or maybe blame it on Ernie instead of hiding behind him? Better yet, blame it on Phyl due to her dizzying number of posts.
