And so here it is, my 5,000th post. Jeez what a journey. I never imagined when I joined three years ago that this would become an obsession. It was not even on the radar that I would travel across the US to meet with fellow pond meisters and talk about one thing we all love, and all share in common, our ponds.

And if you would have told me three years ago that I would have met some folks that would become my closest friends I probably wouldn't have believed it.

I want to take a moment of seriousness to say thank you. Thank you one and all for putting up with my goofiness and thread hijacks and yes, as it has been pointed out to me lately, thread killing participation in this forum.

This forum has been a huge part of helping me through some very difficult times over the past three years and once again that was something I never expected when I joined Pond Boss. I have probably been too much of an open book over the past years having exposed all of you to the tragedies that have befallen my family but I cannot begin to express the comfort that you have provided me during these events. And I sincerely thank you for that.

The friendships forged here mean a great deal to me. It would be remiss of me to trying and name all of the people that have touched our lives. I know that I would leave someone out and I don't want to risk that. Hopefully through written and spoken word or time spent together you all know who you are.

I don't have a lot to offer this forum in the way of knowledge or experience, so my tactic has been humor, or at least attempts there of, and welcoming of new members. I realize that at times I get in the way of, and even derail a discussion and for that I apologize. I have tried to cut back on that some lately as I don't want to become a nuisance on the forum. If I do post something in a thread that you want removed don't hesitate to PM me and I'll delete it, I certainly don't want to become a liability to this forum.

Anyhoo, thanks you all for letting me play in this collective sandbox. Being a member of this family means more to me that you will ever know.

I think more than a few of us here know what this forum means to you and the kinship it fosters.


How many people would have the guts to stand up in front of 200+ people and yell out while saluting, "All hail the Green Sunfish"? Sunil's one word answer should appear shortly....

Congrats on post number 5000! Let's see, it was about 500 welcome posts, 20 serious posts, 2 amazing rebukes, 4 legitimate questions, 6 GOOD answers, and the rest were some of the funniest stuff I've ever read. Feel free to Hyjack my threads anytime!

On a serious note, you probably owe the forum readers about 10,000 keyboards!

Congratulations Jeff! I think you and I joined about the same time. I guess I'm a real slacker, or . . .

How many keyboards have you worn out?

Anybody who doesn't enjoy your posts and your humor needs to go to the forum at curmudgeon.com

Keep up the great work.

Ken

JHAP you are a friend to many of us here because of who you are - rather than who you’re not. \:\) Trying to be something your not is change we can live without. \:D If all we had was a bunch of guys posting study results it would be awful boring and we would have about 25 forum members. \:\( Life is much more than that and should be lived to the fullest by sharing who we are with friends.

I do have a suggestion. Why don't you take charge (that's scary thought)of improving the PB funnies thread. If you can captain the PB Big Cedar barge you can handle the funnies. There is a lot that needs to be done to improve it including finding some old and adding some newer material with context. I thought B'ski was going to do that but he decided it would be easier to build a house. ;\) So we have a need and an opening. I will help with the mechanics. Of course this would be in addition to your normal posting. After all Theo is way out in front and CJ was catching up quickly.

Let's nominate and vote for arbitor of all things funny.
I nominate JHAP, assuming he lost the re-election as 'Godfather' of the GSA.

He was actually pretty good this year. But I know you're making fun of JHAP so I'll stop there...
