I Was Just Promoted to Master Collector

It only took me 13 years to do it. It was the best time spent to get there. I've learned so much, honed my skills, and benefitted greatly from this Forum.

Thanks to all of you for "nudging" me this far.

I'm humbled.

    Congratulations, but you need to keep it in perspective. I also got the coveted 5th star recently (last week), so it is not that exclusive a club to be in.

    Nice work!!
    I have quite a ways to go yet.

    I see that some people get there in less than a year.
    You and I will take the slow road and enjoy the scenery.

    Congrats.....it took you less a lot less than 13 years, as it is based on points, which have only been in place, since the new chat board format was implemented.

    You're a good contributor. Stick around. :)

    I think that the count is for people who visit your personal page. For some reason, the software is not keeping count on me and a lot of others, but some people have it working OK.

    Best I could do to explain it.

    Congratulations to my man, Pete!! Master collector. Do you feel different than you did when you weren’t a master collector? I remember long ago when I was promoted to master collector. The sun came out, angels were singing just to me and the birds were flocking to me swirling around.
    Did any of that stuff happen to you, Pete?

    The bitterness of "Poor Quality" is remembered long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.

    The heavens opened up (it rained).
    The birds were chirping (my cat caught one).
    The Angels were singing (The LA Angels in LA at the National Anthem).
    I don't feel different at all, Joe.

    I want a REFUND!
