Cub and I have been having the usual "let's-see-who-can-be-the-humblest" discussion regarding the first to reach 1,000 posts. As much as I think it should have been Cub, I ultimately yield to his superior reasoning. I quote: "Age before beauty." How can I deny the obvious? At any rate, here is my 1,000 post soon to be followed by the Cubmeister's 1,000 post.
Here is what I would really like to say. Just being part of this international group of adventure purists has made the last several years better (for me and others too) of such high quality that it is difficult to put into words. Despite small tiffs over things like politics, religion and the battle of the sexes, we have stayed united and in tact with faith in the future of Tex. I never thought I would see the day when I could say: "I have friends all over the world!" It's a wonderful thing to make such an avowed statement and its all thanks to you good people.
Now, try and catch up with Cub and I.

Where's the competitive spiritness, the stealing the of the thunderness? How dare you both be considerate. (Just kidding)
Congrats both on your simultaneous achievement. Now, lets see you multiply that post count by 10 (we'll never let you rest!)

I just want to respond to what JTOG has said about this forum. The only other forum that I occasionally visit is the Zork forum; yet that one is pretty inactive on a day to day basis. For the going on six years that I have been a member of this forum, there has seldom been a week that has gone by without some activity. Even though this online community seems like it should be only a small part of my busy, day to day 'real' life, I know I would be disappointed if this group were to fall apart. I don't post very often-but when I do, I make it count. And I'm pleased to be a part of this group.
So yes, I'll close it by congratulating Cub and JTOG on their victories. With that I pose a question...DON'T YOU GUYS HAVE ANYTHING ELSE YOU HAVE TO DO??? LOL, sorry, I just had to say that...you understand.
