Looking at my stats, it appears that this is my 2000th post on the great PGF, and in true Sylvester form, how better to celebrate this milestone than for me to post yet another off topic thread. In amongst the inane drivel I have posted on here over the last 40 months, I have occasionally dispensed some useful advice although you'll have to look hard to find it.
Firstly, I'd like to thank the PGF team for putting up with my posts but also to acknowledge some of the other posters with whom I embarked on this long journey - H, Tricky, 404, TheCoastman, DanB, DJWickid, MistaG, Pea, Lamb, Olivia, Ann, Golfpro, Juno, ChrisRolinski, Piglet, SixKitten to name but a few and most of whom seem to have moved in life. And then to some of the others I have encountered. Hopefully StanfordMan is still wowing the academic community by being annoyingly good at everything, that the 10 angry African ladies have moved out of the caravan in Holland by now, and that JRadetzsky has been able to move on in life. You'll also be pleased to know that my stalker still hasn't caught up with me.
To all more recent posters, I wish you well in your endeavours. Enjoy the process as much as you can so you can look back on it favourably in future years.
As for me, I'm approaching the end of my 3rd year and I've realistically got 6 months of work left to do. Onwards and upwards. But before I burst into tears Kate Winslet-style, I hope you'll join me for a glass of cyber champagne for my 2000th post!
