10540 Congratulations on over 12000 posts
Amazed to see that 10540 has broken the 12000 post barrier 
must be like braking the sound barrier.
Thought mine was bad at 1900
Seriously though with little going on in the forums what is so addictive about PPRUNE that warrants us all posting so much?
What is the motivation? Is it to Glean information or more than that?
Some posts are generated by real issues like the N reg, the IMCR but what drives us to post even on trivia like a guy being told to go around at 450 feet.
Who is the highest poster ever on PPRUNE?
Where do we hardworking people get the time to post so much and where from?
I know mine are from the PC and my I phone 4 but I have to keep checking in
How much posting is to say how clever we are and better than you? Pecking order? and who are the forum celebs? is that what its about?
I know there are people here whos knowlege shines through and who I learn from!

Second that, except for the typo's.
Because you are foreign, the greengrocer's apostrophe is forgiven.

Typo. is an abbreviation for "typographical error".
Typo's is thus read as an abrreviation for several errors & the apostrophe is correctly placed.
Never doubt it, 'foreigners' use of English is often more accurate than the natives themselves execute.

Thanks for support, mikehallam, but I do think Patowalker was right. The more so for saying his little bit with a wide smile!
Back to the original subject: the "hardworking" bit wasn't really appropriate. It doesn't apply to my self, but - more to the point - neither did IO540 ever claim any working - hard or otherwise.
After all, who cares? Some people oblige us merely by their presence. To expect actual work from them would be presumptious,

I particularly appreciate the amount of expertise that IO540 never ceases to share. I found his information especially useful on my journey to the FAAIR. Thanks mate, keep it up

I have met IO... He exists... He's even friendly and likable!
More importantly I am often humbled by his knowledge.
He does not suffer fools and has strong opinions, I wish he was editor in chief of a GA magazine which would have sufficient subscribers allowing it to be independent from the advertisers. Now that would make for a powerful combination!
Starting this thread was appropriate Pace, well done!

Thank you for the kind comments.
Believe it or not I post here to help people out (well, in most cases
).
It is made possible because I work a lot on a PC anyway.
I think Beagle is the top man here?

IO540, congratulations on your Aunt's good fortune.

Well done IO540 Just thinking it through though, if you assume each post from log on to off etc was >5mins we can then calculate an online time in excess of 1000hrs
Thats probably more than most Forumites have logged in the book! Safe flying all.
