Congratulations are due to Marilyn deQueiroz, who has now submitted more than 1000 messages to the Java Ranch Big Moose Saloon. she joins the real "heavy hitters" of the Ranch. Well done Marilyn, it takes a lot to get this far, and I'm sure we all appreciate your efforts and the help you've given to so many people.
Well done Marilyn, thanks for everything that you're doing for all of us learning Java. ps they should count the nitpicks towards your postings as well

I am amazed that you find time to post AT ALL, what with starting a new job, and a SUPER techie one at that, and nit-picking at the Cattle Ranch etc. What loyalty .

Well done Marilyn, congrats. I think that we sub-1000 folk must be getting to be the minority.

I think we need a new forum where strategies are told on how to make it to the 1000 mark the fastest. It has been a really long wait.
Congrats Marilyn. This adds one more towards my first 1000 [This message has been edited by Rahul Mahindrakar (edited June 06, 2001).]

Congratulations, Marilyn! The main part of your job is not visible and we seldom express our admiration... But it is admiration, though inaudible. When I'll grow up, I want to be Marilyn...
From someone who's benefitted from a bunch of Marilyn's posts, congrats and THANKS Marilyn!!

Wow, 1000 posts. I wonder how many hours that is equivalent to. Some of my posts are quick, like 1 minute and some take a half an hour or more. I think a lot of Marilyn's post take a while because she often has to try to understand what we cattle drivers are trying to ask her. I would guess that represents probably between 50 to 100 hours.

Thanks, guys. I didn't even realize I was getting so close to 1000. Kinda snuck up on me.

*tips his hat and kicks his heels up* Congrats Marilyn! Still new to the Cattle Drive and JavaRanch in general, but yer one of the most dedicated people I have seen. Let us in on a little secret, by your monitor, do you have: A) A box of tissues for the tears B) A little gadget that you push a button and it bursts into fits of laughter C) One of those squishy balls to strangle and throw D) All of the above and then some Congrats again, well done and well earned!
