WOW i didn't even notice ... and I'd been keeping an eye on my posts knowing I was close too!!
Thanks Frank

So 1000 posts in just over a year .... will take me a little while to get to 10000

I also issue a similar congratulation message for anyone who reaches the dizzy heights of 2000 messages. Only Paul Wheaton, Ajith Kalambella, and I have got there so far, so that should be your next goal ...

So Frank are you just very observant or do you have a secret way of knowing who has almost 1000 / 2000 posts?

Sad as it may seem, I just run a user find for all users over 800 posts using the control panel from time to time, and keep an eye on anyone who is near the limit.

oh ... I hadn't even noticed that functionality ... and here's me thinking you check everyone's profile from time to time! I suppose that would seem even sadder.

Course Angela, you have always been my hero

. I think it strange that you don't get brownie points for all the behind the scenes work that you guys do. Gives me a guilt complex

. How do you DO it all???

ahh it's nothing!!

Technically i don't really do all that much anymore .. just delegate work to others ... have you seen how the Bunkhouse Team has grown? I do very little actual work here anymore ... I'm just the ideas person .. of course many other contribute ideas too .. I just decide if they get used

The power of the Sheriff

I still spend way too much time here though!

When I met up with George Brown the other day we were discussing that if every bartender / sheriff at javaranch actually got together to form a software development company we'd be fantastic!! It still amazes me that such an amazing site as this is put together but a bunch of people who work remotely from all over the world in their spare time!

Way to go Angela. You were the one who emailed me asking me to become a bartendar, so I see you as kind of my mentor or something

I think I am getting close to 1000 also, maybe soon.
