OK, you guys decide. What should be in my 1,000th post? If I choose your idea, there will be a prize in it for you.

...or something pithy and profound, like that.
I forget what my recent 10,000th post was. I'm sure it was completely meaningless drivel, wasted on the Open Forum. Probably about as intellectual as the infamous dorkkarl birdpoop post, but not as funny.
Like this one, It completed my Washington Quarter set 1932-1998 BU
I search almost three years before finding this coin, just turned out to be the last one I needed for my set.
Happy Millenium!!

Well, here it is, my 1,000th post. I still recognize a lot of names that were here when I first joined, some that have cropped up since I joined, and others who I don't know, yet. Others have drifted away and some have been banned. Since I've joined the boards I've moved three thousand miles across the country, changed jobs, and been promoted. I've let my PCGS membership lapse (maybe I'll rejoin when the service becomes a little speedier again) and I'm about to join NGC and try my hand there. But more important than that, I've learned how to grade, and I'm so confident now in my grading abilities that instead of looking at a slabbed coin and wondering how it got that grade I can look at a slabbed coin and know whether it should have gotten that grade or if the grading svc. goofed.
When I first started collecting I prefered blast white coins, and those are still great. I was adamently opposed to toned coins but now I love them. I started out with the ubermoderns like the proof american eagles and state quarters and now I'm moving into the tough classics like mint state barber halves. I've done a lot of changing as a collector. Just today I looked at my earliest acquired stuff and I was shaking my head, 'why would I want that stuff??' LOL
Well, what this 1,000th post means to me is a return to the boards. I've been mainly visiting numisaddict since the banning incident but I'm quickly tiring of that site. Oh sure, I'll go back, but it's a ghost town. I could go there every day for a year and not learn what I can here in a day. So, I'm back!

Russ, you joined the site SIX MONTHS after I did, yet your post count is MORE THAN TEN THOUSAND higher than mine! Is that really you, or do you have a staff at compucheap just devoted to posting here??
Speaking of which, I have requested that Carol make my new custom title "The Holey of Holeys and Grand Forum Windbag". Has a nice ring to it, don'tcha think?

Nope. It's AutoPostBot ver. 2.20.
