15 thousand posts!

[John Ashworth]

Today the fifteen thousandth message was posted on the FOTR forum!

Hot dog! And I remember you, me and Steve A discussing the bits and bobs in the early days and then starting with with a few topics we had to populate ourselves!

From acorns etc!

Who was the lucky one? What have they won?

[Kevin Wilson-Smith]

Do not know (and never will)! It was probably John though as he does a lot of posting!

Actually I hate to admit it, but it was one of my posts about the Utrecht Railway Museum.

I'm almost embarrassed to have posted so much, but I repeat my excuse that the vast majority of my posts are forum administration, FOTR administration or posting stuff on behalf of our less computer-literate brethren (step forward, Trainman!). A lot of the administration posts (both forum and FOTR) are never seen by ordinary users as they appear on private sections of the forum. For example, for every FOTR train I make four or five admin posts, and some years we've had forty or fifty trains, leading to several hundred posts from me. And the amount of administrative bumf there is around HRASA, SIA, TFR, RSR, and probably soon PRASA, beggars belief.

Honest, guv.

John I see you have just hit 6000 posts. That is a mile stone on its own.

[John Ashworth]

Thanks, Stefan. I'm so intent on watching others that I hadn't even noticed my own milestone!
