The Town of Odyssey

I have become the #9 poster!

Every step up this ladder since I reached the first page of posters has been surreal. I truly can't believe I've gotten to where I am, and that I continue to rise even further!

The first ten people to reply to this thread will receive free money!

WOW!! That is insane! You sure have posted a lot... and to think some people have posted even more than you

WOW BOOKWORM! You just keep climbing up. This is incredible. Congrats!

Congrats Bookworm, that's quite an achievement.

What's incredible to me about this is that, with a few exceptions, you put a lot of thought behind each post!

I'm not sure if this is a genuine complement or intended to be backhanded.

It seems genuine. At any rate, I echo the sentiment in a non-sarcastic way. Congrats, bookworm!

It does, the only reason I wonder was the intentional notation of exceptions. I'm not sure what exactly he was referring to, if he had specific posts in mind. I only post when I believe the content is worth contributing to our board, I never post just to make another post.

Most definitely a complement. To elaborate, a lot of posts, mine included, seem to be the first thought that popped into their head. Yours are not so, or so it seems.

(Have I made myself completely unclear yet? )

As for exceptions, I'm merely referring to the posts where you're goofing off. Not that many, but a few.

I see what you mean now, and you're correct I rarely make quick 'first thought' posts, I think about what I'm meaning to say and how to do it. It's nice to know that can be sensed.

And you're the first person here to acknowledge that I'm capable of "goofing off"

*Slides in*

I want free money!

It never ceases to impress me just how dedicated you and the other oldies are to this board, and how you take any achievement here as such a personal victory.

Not sure if this is intended to be backhanded, but if it seems that the reason I mark all these milestones is to celebrate myself let me be clear that it is not. It's never entered my mind that I'm personally so amazing for having all these posts or anything like that. What I'm celebrating are the milestones themselves, because I truly never considered when I joined the board a decade ago that I would see myself reach them.

I think I meant any achievement of the board is rejoiced in by you.

Ah, I see.

I'm the tenth person to reply! Money please! And congrats on being #9, Bookworm; you've lived up to your name.

Actually, you are the eighth person! (Multiple posts from the same people don't count toward the ten.) So there are still two money posts available here!

I don't pay these celebrations out until all the spots have been claimed. And there are still some unresolved giveaways in other recent threads around here; I would like to take care of them all at once if people track them down.

Give me my 1 cent

Still one spot left!

Yikes you're two thousand away from top 5.
