Well, it's happened for only the third time in Thoughts Media history. The crazy Aussie who always seems to be wearing headphones (well, according to his shocked avatar, at least) has reached the 10,000-post milestone!<br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/web/2003/parekh-20060926-Darius10k.gif" /><br /><br />Alas, I was on my way into work when he hit 10,000. I guess he found 10001 to be a rounder number, but it's close enough. ;) In any case, as most of you know, Darius isn't a frivolous poster -- the vast majority of his posts are informative and helpful to end-users (as was <a href="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=418306#418306">his 10,000th</a>). It's a testament to his contributions to the community, as well as a testament to our readers, who engage in interesting discussions. Please join me in congratulating Darius on his milestone. <img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/media/users/13148/emot-partyblower.gif" />

Well done, Darius (guess he's probably asleep now, as he's the other side of the world from me!).

Congrats Darius, I've appreciated all your posts :D

As I can see Janak's excellent post count as well, I guess the first one who broke 10K is Jason himself. But I would've thought that Ed would be in this club as well, hmmmm ;)

I don't think Menneisyys needs to wait though, he should compile all his dissertations.. uh I mean posts.. into several books! I'd buy them...

Congratulations mate!

If you look around the internet it's pretty easy to find lots of folks in forums with well over 10,000 posts. It's not just the post count that is important, it's the quality of the posts that counts. Darius' post have the much more unique qualities of having numbers AND being informative and helpful....that's the trick.

Tinnies are on me. ;)

I remember someone's tagline on one of the popular PPC sites says, "posts are overrated. One should be judged by the quality of what they say, not how often they say it" :mrgreen:

You're the exception that proves the rule Darius, congrats! :D

Nice going, Darius, dude! Assuming that your "joined date" is pretty close to the day you made your first post, you've reached that milestone in under three years! Let's see, that means you average, um.. that's 10,000 divided by....uhhh.. multiplied by.... the number of days in.... "thirty days hath September, April, June and..."...
Anyway, forget the math. Good job!

(And remember, this site is in no way liable for your repetitive stress problems.)

Congrats Darius,

I'd say this calls for some kind of demonstration. Hmm....

I got it! Lets all go to Redmond and stand outside the main office one night with our screens lit up like candles, until they make Darius an MVP, or Mobius worthy.

Okay at least guarantee a free Zune.... :werenotworthy:

Good job Wey!

Are you sure about that? :P Maybe the nerves in your wrists have died completely and that's why you don't feel any pain... :lol:

Well, okay. That's possible. If not from typing, then from the hand-cramping Mighty Mouse (http://www.apple.com/mightymouse/) that I've now happily retired. ;)

Congrats man! I still remember you trying to guess when I'd hit 1000... sadly I haven't quite kept up with you since then. ;) I still read PPCT all the time, but have been pretty busy with other stuff in the last year (and don't tell, but I've converted to mainly being a Smartphone guy, only occasionally using my Axim). Nice to see you're still just as helpful as I remember. Keep up the great work! :way to go:
