All hail, Newportnobby!

Dear Mr Nn,

May I congratulate you on achieving the remarkable milestone of 10,000 posts. Ten thousand!

TEN THOUSAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't have the pleasure of your acquaintance, but...... Respect, man!

What I want to know is, how do you find the time to a) play trains and b) eat?

Regards,

Chris

Thanks, Chris.

I'm sure there are those who would throw 'quality over quantity' at me and I guess I can be accused of the odd  facetious post, but just being a Moderator and then Global Moderator increases your post count as we have to look at every post rather than be selective. I'm firmly of the opinion that all levels of modelling should be encouraged and appreciated, and am happy to pass on what small experience I have as we are here on this great forum to help each other.
I've also been on the forum for a long time (doddery I am not!)
As for having the time - I'm a single bloke who has taken early retirement as work was getting in the way of railway stuff so now I find time to run trains and all too often forget to eat

Shame you do not get a £1 for each post

Who would do such a thing

True! he has the mental acuity of an 18 year old

18 year old Spaniel that is 



Now come on, did you really expect to get away with it!

Mick,

Well funny you should mention that 

Was going to make a sarcastic comment about how many of those 10,000 posts were actually useful 
but well done on having nothing to do but sit at your PC and pass comment 

Here's to the next 10,000 

Regards

Neal.

10k posts.... well he could have just moved the same post 9999 times, do all those mod messages count???

One of the Mods on a photo forum I frequent has over 50,500 (since August 2000) so you got some way to go yet!

[ScottyStitch]

At least have of those posts are "if you use curved points at the ends if your fiddle yard, you'll benefit from longer loops."

Yes I was going to comment on that then I remembered one way back when I actually learned from his reply
Well done Nobby

We'll done Mick, now that you've reached that milestone, do you get time off for good behaviour ?

One of the Mods on a photo forum I frequent has over 50,500 (since August 2000) so you got some way to go yet!

But how many of those 50,000 were useful in that they facilitated others contributions and actively respected forum members views without crushing anything at variance with his/her own personal bias ?

NewportNobby is in my view the very model of the perfect Moderator so long may he continue in his present style and volume.
