It's sad, but it's true Gagne. I have also always wondered why people advertise it when they hit this big a milestone. In fact, I am extremely embarassed to have the amount of posts I have, even though one week from today, it will by my 3 year anniversary here. But in all honesty, it does make me think that a person with over 7000 posts is a very lonely and depressed man with no life and nowhere to go. Why would anyone be proud of to announce that they just hit a certain milestone. Jay Leno is not that bad though, but there are worse.
When you hit a big milestone like that, you are basically telling the world that I have no life and that I am a loser, and I hardly leave the house.
The people that should brag are the people who have 800 posts in 3 years, not 12,000 posts. These are the guys that have a life and should be more respected.
