The counter on "Bob M" is turning 4000 with this post. I would like to dedicate this 4000th post to all those folks that got this thing started and kept it going all these years. Many a friendship was formed starting with the old days of the AOL chats and boards. Some of the originals are still here and visit often. Some visit not so often but are still in all the minds of the folks who remember them. Some are HL celebrities while some seek anonymity. Some come with inquiries while others bring answers. Some bring problems, while others bring solutions. What's important is that they do take the time to come here and share. What we have here is unique and not the norm nowadays. I, for one, am thankful to be part of this. It is my sincere hope that this group of people, from all walks of life, will continue to come here to share things of mutual interest to us all.  Bob

Congratulations, Bob!
It has indeed been a long and fun ride. Lots of sharing, lots of questions, lots of answers. And a few weather reports from New England along the way.
We wouldn't be the same place without you.

Way to go Bob! I too have always appreciated your many informative posts... weather or not included. There are not many here who can say they have been around since the AOL days. We are all happy that you, as many others, have stuck it out. Thanks again.

Wow. 4,000. That gives us a sufficiently large sample to create a Bob M message generator that distills them all into one large sentence. If you were that message generator, what would the sentence say - and is the message box large enough to hold it? Congratulations! Tim

Dave... you antagonist you. LOL I think that maybe Mombo may turn that from a 21 glass salute to a 21 knuckle salute. Tim

Bob 4,000 already. I remember reading your post when you were just 100. Keep up the good work and maybe when you reach 4,500. You will become a super saint. From Sunny Florida.

Thanks for all the congratulations, gang! I couldn't have done it without you! Every post counts and makes for great reading and interaction here at the Collector Forums.I do read every new post to see what everyone has to share. I hope everybody will keep on posting new topics or replies to current topics. That is what makes this thing work! Now, John, when are you going to hit 7000? Mombo? When are you going to hit 5000? I'm trying to catch up to you both...lol! Bob

congratulations. I've only belonged to this group for a week and have a century or so to go before my 4000th. I find this group to be friendly and full of all kinds of information.
