It's taken me five months and I just passed 400 posts. Its some sort of accomplishment but I'm not sure what kind. I noticed DaveO just passed 9,000 posts, even with elves I'm not sure how he does it. I live near him, but he must get his water from a special well because he just moves so much faster than me, or as it seems, just about every one else.

Dave, I don't know how you do it, but you keep doing it.

As Forrest Gump said "well that's all I have to say about that"

Well, I have been a member for almost as long as this forum has been in existance, so I had a head start on my post count. I have no life, and spend way too much time on the computer. And I have never comformed to the old adage that "if you got nothing to say, say nothing". I've been accused of having a case of Tourette Syndrome of the Keyboard

But thanks for noticing



Dave

Congrats Jimmy. When I hit 400 and Dave ONLY had 8,648 (I think), I thought I was gaining on him....NOT! He keeps pulling away. I don't know if anyone can catch him and those #$@%$#^& elves!

Don't feel bad, I've been around as long as Dave and I only have 616.

Dave doesn't sleep at moves at lightning speed whenever I've seen him! I still think he uses voice recognition software so he can post and work! (not when using power tools or very sharp tools, of course) However he does it, his input is great, often humerous, and sometimes just amazing.

Please, a bit of discretion: We've known about DaveO's talents for a while, but don't need it broadcast. We like him here and if the news gets out that you know someone who can really get things done, then real people will want him running for office, and can you imagine the chaos if someone like him got to congress or the Presidency??
Next thing ya know, we'd have a guvmint actually doing something about keeping the valued talents in this country alive, protecting the environment, and that actually values producing something other than self-aggrandizing reports and hot air.

Hmmm... on second thought:

DaveO for President!! DaveO for President!!

Sorry, got carried away there for a moment

Go

I think that they have policies that would quickly exclude me from running. I would make Bill Clinton and Ted Kennedy look like boy-school angels

Yep I seen him move so fast around his shop I could swear their was two of him - it might have the beer too. But Dozer was there and there was always one of him

I didn't see any computer in his shop but then again that's the secret to his high post count and ability to crank out project after project. One DaveO is posting while the other DaveO is cranking out projects. You notice it's DaveO which is decoded as Dave Other or the Other Dave, jigs up both you Dave's...

Look out Dave! I just hit 100 and I'm gaining fast. Well maybe not. But I can accidentally shoot someone in the leg and qualify for vice president

... since one is always posting while the other is woodworking, and the other other is working at the landscaping stuff... you never see the two of them together...
