Post 45: I've been a member since October 2004 and a lurking guest some year before that. I started watching this forum as soon as I first heard about the 2005 concept in late 2003 and check in daily ever since...

 

Post 46: ...I don't just post for the sake of posting (except maybe this one), don't ask questions without doing a throughout forum search, but do try to offer new information when I have it or answer someone's questions when I may have valuable information for them...

 

Post 47: ..as such, my forum practices have left me with less than 50 posts... yes.. still a newbie...

 

Post 48: ...but I feel that I've been part of this community long enough to be just a hair more than a newbie...

 

Post 49: ..ya know, I've been a part of this forum from the time I started planning and saving the instant I saw that S197 grainy-black-and-white picture come out until today where I've had my own 2006 for over a year. I just thought it be nice to see my name followed by something other than, newbie...

 

Post 50: ...but alas.. I just noticed that the post counter still reads 44 which means posts in this section of the forum don't count.. always the newbie.. always the newbie...

 

FYI . . . posts do not count in 'Off-Topic'.

And post count do not equate to 'newbie' in my opinion. As you mentioned you've been here for 2.5 years!

 

No worries all. I won't rack up my count elsewhere.. I'll just patiently wait. It's a virtue, right?

 

They should!
